Sexual Health

Problems and concerns over sexual health are common.

Your usual GP is very happy to discuss these with you -

or if you prefer you can arrange to see one of our other

doctors or nurse practitioners.

If you think you may have a sexually transmitted

infection, we would recommend that you arrange to be

assessed at a sexual health clinic. Their specialist team of

doctors and nurses can arrange a wider panel of tests and

can support you with treatment and also tracing anyone

else who may also be infected.

Sexual health services are offered locally at several

locations including Rowlands Road as well as Southlands

Hospital. The clinic offers a mixture of pre-bookable

appointments and "walk in and wait" sessions across the

week including some late sessions and weekends. Further

details are available on their website and also further

information from the charity FPA.

Safe Sex & Contraception

You can discuss your contraceptive and safe

sex needs with our specialist family-planning

nurses or if you prefer with your usual GP. We

can discuss a wide range of different options

with you. More information on the options is

available from the charity FPA

We have a supply of free condoms that are

available on request.

The surgery is lucky to have several doctors

trained in fitting both contraceptive implants

(Nexplanon) which last for up to 3 years and

also the Intra-Uterine System (Mirena) which

lasts up to 5 years. If you would like one fitted

- or need one replacing - please contact

reception.
