Appointment instructions

We currently have three walk-in clinics per week for people coming to the STI Clinic for the first time or with a new problem, so no appointment is necessary.

For the walk-in clinic we operate on a "first come first served" basis. Before each walk-in clinic we decide how many people we can see that day and allocate tickets. In order to be seen at the walk-in clinic you need to have a ticket. Please see our clinic schedule to see when the tickets are given out and times for the walk-in clinics.

If your Doctor has posted or faxed in a referral letter you will be sent an appointment in the post.

If your Doctor has given you a referral letter and sent you into the clinic you can come into one of the walk-in clinics to get a ticket.

If after you have been seen at the STI Clinic, you are asked to come back for a further check up you will need to book an appointment with the reception staff before you leave.

Referral procedures

A referral letter is not necessary before you attend the walk-in STI clinics.  If you are attending the Infectious Diseases clinic or the HIV clinic for the first time a referral letter from your Doctor is required.
