Easter opening times for sexual health clinics
posted by: Susan Mills
Please note all sexual health clinics will be closed from Friday 18 April to Monday 21 April, and will re-open again on Tuesday 22 April.
When our clinics are closed, Emergency contraception (the morning-after-pill) is also often available free of charge from Walk-in centres, Minor Injury Units and some pharmacies – click here to find your local provider. We would recommend if you are planning to go to a pharmacy for emergency contraception, that you call first to check there is a pharmacist on duty who is able to supply this medication.
If you think you have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours and require emergency PEP medication, this is available from all major A&E hospital departments when sexual health clinic are closed. For details about PEP and where to access locally click here.
