Sexual health
We’re happy to talk to you about all aspects of sexual health, including contraception, family planning and general advice. Be assured that we maintain your confidentiality at all times.
Sexual health services are free for those under 22, even if you are not enrolled with our clinic.
Sexual health advice
Our team of friendly, non-judgemental staff are here to provide advice on sexual health, contraception and family planning. Clinic staff will protect your privacy at all times – confidentiality is important to us.
We can provide you with advice, prescriptions for contraception, the emergency contraceptive pill, and diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmissible infections.
Symptoms of sexually transmitted infections:
- Discharge from your penis or vagina
- Pain when urinating
- Pain during sex
- Swelling, sores, ulcers or lumps on or around your genitals
- Genital rashes
Emergency contraceptive pill
- It can be taken up to 72 hours (three days) after sex. It also usually works up to four days after sex.
- You can get the emergency contraceptive pill in advance – you can keep it handy to take immediately if you realise there is a risk of pregnancy.
It is not advisable to use the emergency contraceptive pill as your regular method of contraception. Speak to us about other methods.
