Sexual Health
Confidential, respectful care for your sexual wellbeing
Sexual health is an important part of overall health and wellbeing. Whether you’re seeking routine screening, have specific concerns, or simply want advice, our GPs provide a safe, respectful, and confidential space to talk openly. We welcome people of all ages, genders, and relationship structures, including LGBTQIA+ patients.
What to expect from your appointment
Your GP will take a non-judgemental, supportive approach—focusing on your concerns, health history, and what matters most to you. This may include discussion, examination if needed, and appropriate testing. Many patients also use this time to ask questions about sexual wellbeing, relationships, or changes they’ve noticed.
