Don’t let one bite turn into a lifelong fright. 🍼🎃

Halloween is upon us, and things might be getting a little... intimate in the shadows.
Before you get freaky with a werewolf or have a close encounter with a vampire, ask yourself:

Got protection?
Using the right contraception for you?
Or are you trusting the moon cycle and vibes again? (👀 Don’t.)

Contraception isn’t one-size-fits-all — chat with one of our specialist nurses and find your perfect match.

Trichomoniasis is spread through s*xual or ge***al contact with an infected person. It's caused by a parasite called Trichomonas va**nalis.
Symptoms may include: discharge from the va**na or p***s, va**nal odour, painful urination and irritation at the top of the p***s or va**na.

Nights are getting longer...
So are the "you up?" texts. 👀

Whether you're falling for someone or just falling into bed — remember:
🎃 Spooky season is fun.
😬 Surprises in your s*xual health? Not so much.

👉 Wrap it.
👉 Test it.
👉 Talk about it.
Because ghost costumes are in— but ghosting SHiP is not....

Some contraception methods are more discreet than others, perfect for keeping private. Options like the IUD, implant, or injection are often hidden, while the pill or condoms are more noticeable.
To discuss further please call us on 01752 431124.

Missed Appointments Lead to Longer Waiting Times

We've noticed an increase in patients not attending their appointments. If you can't make it, please let us know as early as possible. This allows us to offer the slot to someone else who needs it.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
