Sexual Health & Family Planning Clinics and Services
Emergency Contraception
If you haven’t used contraception, or your usual method of contraception has failed, please urgently contact the surgery on 01908 375 341 and let one of our patient navigators know that you need emergency contraception, and they will put your request through as an emergency. You can also contact:
- Your local pharmacist
- Brook Contraception Clinic
- Sexual Health Clinic – call 0300 303 8273
- Some young people’s clinic – call 0800 567123
Family Planning Clinic
If you have been advised by the surgery to submit a contraceptive pill review, please use our Contraceptive Pill Review form.
If you wish to discuss starting a form of contraception, it might help to consider the options that are available to you. With so many different types of contraception out there, how do you choose the best one for you?
At Parkside, we offer free family planning clinics on a Monday and Wednesday afternoon. Please 01908 375 341 and tell our patient navigators that you would like to have an appointment for the family planning clinic. A follow up appointment will also be needed to monitor you and your contraceptive method.
If you are under 25 years of age you can also seek advice from the local Brook Clinic.
Chlamydia Screening
If you are under 25 years old, whether male or female, you can get a free chlamydia test. It is a simple test that you can do yourself and all results are confidential. If you would like to get a free chlamydia screening test, please ask one of our patient navigators for the kit to take home.
