Sexual Health

We provide a caring and high quality professional service in a setting where you feel relaxed and comfortable. Your confidentiality is ensured.

Sexual health is a very sensitive and personal area of your health and our multidisciplinary team of experienced Sexual Health Consultants, nurses, physiotherapists and psychologists will ensure you receive care tailored to meet your needs. The team also works closely with gynaecologists, urologists and pain Consultants as required.

We cover all aspects of sexual health from rapid screening of infections and HIV to management of more complex problems or even just worries about your sexual health. Our services are particularly suitable for those who want a more personalised service than can be offered through the NHS or online testing services. A consultation will initially be arranged with one of our Sexual Health Consultants.

We utilise the latest molecular diagnostics so that most tests can be undertaken from a urine sample and/or self-taken swab and a blood test.

Common problems we manage include:

Rapid screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV and hepatitis
Management and treatment of all STIs
Management of troublesome problems such as genital herpes or warts
Management of genital skin problems
Management of HIV infection

Immunisation against Human papilloma Virus (HPV) – the wart virus, hepatitis A & B
