Sandyford continues to comply with Public Health guidelines. To ensure the health and safety of both patients and staff, we still require face masks to be worn at all times for those that are able. We remain an appointment only service for our clinics.
We are working hard to return to our normal service levels including reopening our Connect Hubs.
Please do not attend Sandyford if you have Mpox, COVID-19 or are showing symptoms of either.

We are aware that some people are choosing to have an STI test through a private clinic or through a privately provided at home STI testing kit. Please note that Sandyford and Brownlee are unable to offer treatment to patients unless they have been tested by the NHS. Therefore, if you are under taking a STI test in a commercial venue or at home you may wish to check if it is a NHS run project.
Book, cancel and reschedule sexual health testing appointments online.
Please ensure that you arrive at Sandyford around 10 minutes before your appointment is due to start. This is so that you can register before you attend your appointment.
Self-Testing Information
At many of our services we run test only clinics to make your routine sexual health check-up as easy and hassle free as possible.

If you have any other needs or there are other supports required they will explain to you how to organise a more appropriate appointment for you to have these needs met by a member of the clinical team. If you do not have any symptoms you will not need to be examined by a practitioner. This means you can take your own Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea testing swabs. Including one or more of the following:
