COVID regulations are changing, however physical distancing and face coverings are still required at health care settings across Scotland. This restricts the number of patients we can have in our clinics at any one time. In addition our staffing levels are being affected by COVID.  As restrictions for the service ease and staffing levels return to normal we hope to increase the number of contraceptive appointments available.  

All of our contraception appointments are available to book online this generally works well and suits most of our patients. We do acknowledge however that the number of appointments we have currently can outstrip the number of patients looking for an appointment.

This means that once we have added a clinic the appointments get booked up very quickly. Appointments are generally added on a weekly basis when we can see what our staffing levels are. This is to avoid patients booking appointments that then have to be cancelled as had been happening, which is very frustrating for patients and staff. We recommend checking as often as you are able to look for an available appointment.

If you need to call for an appointment 0141 211 8130 our staff are happy to help but do not have any additional appointments available.

A number of GP practices do offer contraceptive appointments. You can check with your own GP practice if this is available. Your local chemists may also be able to support your contraception needs. 

If you require contraceptive pills, patches or rings and only if your current supply is from Sandyford, please call 0141 211 8130 to arrange a telephone consultation.

If you are within one year of childbirth or abortion, are a Young Person under 18 or feel in any way vulnerable, please call on 0141 211 8130 to discuss your options.

All the information you need about your visit to Sandyford. Before, during and after the appointment.
