At Sandyford, we have a confidential and discreet sexual health service for people involved in the commercial sex industry (such as selling sex online; in flats or escorting; lap dancing and web camming). We call this the G3 Priority Clinic.

• Full sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening - please note that we cannot provide test results to third parties
• Blood borne virus screening (including HIV, Hep B, Hep C) and Hep B vaccination
• Free condoms
• All methods of contraception (including coils with prior arrangement)
• Cervical screening
• Pregnancy testing
• Abortion referral
• Risk-reduction advice
• Emotional and social support
• Referrals to other health-related services including Gynaecology

You can find us at Sandyford, 2-6 Sandyford Place, Glasgow G3 7NB.

You can phone us on 0141 211 8146. Please note that this phone number goes directly to our Medical Secretary, and you may need to leave a voicemail.

If English is not your first language, or if you have sight or hearing impairment, interpreters can be arranged. Interpreters are trained in clinical communication and they are bound by the same patient confidentiality rules as all other healthcare workers. If you need someone to interpret for you, please let the person who makes your appointment know when you phone.

Our staff are non-judgemental, professional and friendly.  When you come for an appointment, you will be listened to without being judged and your care will be carried out in a confidential and sensitive manner.  We will provide you with a space to express your thoughts, feelings and emotions and we can refer you to our counselling service if you have past or current issues that are causing you distress.

Yes.

Anything you say at the clinic will be kept confidential, unless you are being referred to another service with your permission, or in very rare situations if the staff need to share information to protect you or others from harm.  

What you tell our staff isn't going to shock or embarrass them, but you need to be honest so that they know how best to treat you and what they can do to help you.  

We will hold an electronic record of your visit that is confidential to Sandyford services. Agreed clinical information will only be shared with your GP or other services if you give permission. You do not need to use your real name when you come to Sandyford, but it is essential that you use the same name each time you make an appointment. Please note that if you do not use your real name, we may not be able to refer you to some NHS services.

We can refer you to other specialist services, including our counselling service.

We can also direct you to some other services and organisations that may be able to offer support: Women's Support Project; Encompass Network; TARA; Umbrella Lane; WISHES and Routes Out.

Results are usually via our automated results line and are available around 10-14 days after being taken. Occasionally we may phone you or arrange for you to return for results but this will be discussed at your appointment.

Follow up appointments can be arranged when you attend the clinic. This may be another G3 appointment or an appointment in another area of our service. This will be discussed with you when you attend.
