Sexual Health Testing

Whether you are asymptomatic and looking for routine screening or have concerns about an exposure you may have had, we are happy to offer discrete sexual health screening.

As General Practitioners, we can support any follow up required, whether through treatment, referral, or, where your symptoms persist but results of screening are negative, we can support onward investigation. We also offer supporting advice and treatment including coil and implant fitting, contraception advice and smear testing (both Clinician administered and self-collecting).

Our sexually transmitted infections (STI) testing packages have been thoughtfully tailored around the most required and appropriate tests, offering a straightforward and effective approach to sexual health screening. However, we have access to a broad suite of screening tests. Should you require a customised combination of tests or additional screening, we offer a wide range of options and would be pleased to discuss your individual requirements and provide associated pricing.
