Sexual Health

If you want to talk about your sexual health, be it preventing a pregnancy, avoiding sexually transmitted infection or talking about difficulties with sex such as impotence; we can hopefully help.

We offer a wide range of sexual health services from Emergency
contraception or "the morning after pill" (which suggests that the earlier it is taken the better and preferably with 72 hours, but we can do something up to 5 days after unprotected sex), Chlamydia screening ("pee in a pot" tests for 16-24 years old). We are able to initially manage sexually transmitted illnesses in collaboration with the local Genito urinary (GU) clinics.

Our sexual health services are discrete, confidential and open to anyone regardless of age (although there are certain checks we need to go through with under 16 year olds)
