FOR ALL AGES
Sexual health clinics are now running in Okehampton and Holsworthy.
The Okehampton clinic is held on 1st and 3rd Monday of each month at Okehampton Community Hospital on Cavell Way. It is open to anyone without appointment and will provide a full sexual health service – offering contraception, including coils and implants, as well as STI testing and treatment.
There is also a once a month sexual health and contraception clinic, held on the 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of the month, at Holsworthy Community Hospital, Dobles Lane. Appointments can be made by calling 0300 303 3989.

OTHERWISE
Our Devon Sexual Health clinics in Exeter, Barnstaple and Torbay are open but things are a little different than before the COVID pandemic. You can no longer arrive without an appointment. Here’s what to do:
- Anyone requiring our help needs to call first on 0300 303 3989.
- You will be booked onto a triage list and a nurse or doctor will call back as quickly as possible to discuss what you need.
- We are still able to provide emergency contraception (morning after pills), most methods of contraception, STI / chlamydia testing, pregnancy testing and referrals for abortion, if needed.
- We can also discuss any concerns about sexual health, contraception or worries about unplanned pregnancy.
- Some patients may be invited in to visit the clinic to see a nurse or doctor face to face, or perhaps to come and collect pills or medication. We can also post some things to a home (or friend’s) address, if needed.
