Sexual health during COVID-19

We are re-opening our services in Birmingham!

We are happy to announce that we are reopening our STI Clinic from Tuesday 16th June and the opening of our HPV-Wart Clinic and Family Planning Clinic from the 13th of July.

The safety of our patients and staff is our utmost priority, so in order to comply with the guidelines from the government and Public Health England, we will be implementing the following changes to our services:

• We will utilise digital/telephone and postal services where possible, to limit the patient-clinician exposure.
• Before your appointment, you will receive a call from your clinician who will discuss a few things with you before you enter the clinic. This is so we can be better prepared for you and limit the amount of time you spend in our clinic.
• We ask patients to arrive exactly on time, and no earlier.
• We ensure there is a maximum of 1 patient in the clinic at a time (other than your clinician, our healthcare assistant & receptionist – so if you arrive earlier, we will ask you to be patient with us outside of the clinic as we prepare the clinic for you).
• Upon arrival, you will be offered a face mask and hand sanitiser.
• During your appointment, social distancing will be maintained where possible, and we will sit six feet apart from you.

As always, we aim to deliver the highest standard of patient care. Your health and wellbeing is our biggest priority. If there are any further steps you would like us to take, please get in touch with us. We thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support at this time, and hope to open up our services further soon.

Virtual Services

Our virtual clinic is still running for those who would prefer to receive care from home. These services include home STI test kits, medications by post and advice via virtual consultations.

If you have symptoms of COVID-19

Please stay at home and consider using our virtual services.

• A high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• A new and continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
• A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
