There are some appointments kept for contraception and procedures only and these can booked up to 3 months ahead once you have discussed your contraception need with the Nurse/Doctor.

If you suspect you have a sexually transmitted infection, it is important that you attend a clinic as soon as possible. This is so that you can have testing, treatment if needed and also details taken of your sexual partners so that they can also be offered testing and treatment.
