S.W.A.Y. (Sex, Worries and You)
Every Thursday between 3.45pm and
4.45 p.m. we run a drop in S.W.A.Y.
clinic. All young people, even those
not registered at this practice, are
welcome at this clinic. You do not
need to make an appointment.
We offer:
Free condoms &
lubricant
Emergency contraception
Pregnancy testing
Advice on all forms of
contraception
Coil & implanon fitting
We also provide advice, testing
and treatment for STIs (sexually
transmitted infections).
Although it is a
good idea to get adult support if
you are under 16, you do NOT need
your parent/guardian's permission to
access these drop in clinics.
