Sexual Health Services
Call 0300 131 7010 to book an appointment at a clinic location convenient to you.
Our specialist Doctors and nurses will be there to get you the help that you need.
A new Sexual Health Services for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire is currently developed and will run along this site.
What to expect
When you arrive at one of our clinics you will be asked to register your details, even if we have seen you before. Your details will only be used by the sexual health service, and only to help with your treatment. Information about confidentiality is available. You will most likely need to wait in a shared waiting area until the healthcare team can see you. Other patients will not know the reason why you are attending and they will be attending for a wide variety of reasons themselves.
British Sign Language (BSL) and Translator/interpreter
The sexual health service uses a telephone interpretation system for some of the services we provide. For some appointments an interpreter may be present in the room.
BSL Video Remote Interpreting
A British Sign Language Interpreting service which is provided using Video Remote Interpreting. This is provided through the SignVideo app. It is intended to work alongside the current face-to-face BSL interpreting service provided by Nottinghamshire Sign Language Interpreting Service.
Chaperone
A nurse may be present to assist the doctor during any examination. If you have any concerns about this then please discuss them with the doctor. If you would like a friend or partner to be present during your examination then please tell the nurse or doctor.
Travel cost reimbursement
You may be entitled to a refund of your travel costs to get to the hospital to attend any of your appointments.
Cervical Screening
Cervical screening, also known as a smear test, is a test to check the cervix and help prevent cervical cancer. It is offered to women and people with a cervix aged 25-64.
Our service does not routinely offer cervical screening. If you are due to have a test please contact your GP.
Cervical screening is usually done in a GP surgery by a female nurse or doctor.
This helpful video will show you more about what to expect from a cervical screening appointment:

Confidentiality
All our services are strictly confidential for all our patients, no matter the age or circumstance. The information our patients give us is not shared with anyone outside our sexual health service without the consent of our patients unless it is necessary to protect someone from serious harm. Our higher standards of confidentiality are discussed with patients when they first attend our service.
