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

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.

Confidentiality
All our services are strictly confidential for all our patients, no matter the age or circumstance.
