We offer a
confidential service to all of our
patients, including those under 16.
This means that (apart from
exceptional circumstances) anything
you tell us, or advice we give you,
will not be discussed with anyone
else without your permission.
The only reason we may have to
consider passing on confidential
information would be to protect you
or someone else from serious harm.
We would always try to discuss this
with you first.
We are open from 8am - 6.30pm Monday
to Friday
To make an appointment phone or drop
in to the surgery.
You can discuss any health problem
with any doctor.
HELP WITH
HEALTH
Spots, weight, sex, bullying,
alcohol, relationships, smoking,
drugs, periods, contraception,
family, exercise, condoms? and
anything else!
CONTRACEPTION
Our Doctors and Nurses are trained
to help you with different types of
contraception.
All contraceptives are free.
You do not have to be over 16 to
discuss contraception or emergency
contraception with a Doctor or
Practice Nurse.
EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION
Emergency contraception is sometimes
wrongly called the
morning-after-pill. This is
misleading as it can actually be
taken up to 72 hours (3 days) after
having unprotected sex. However the
sooner it is taken the better!
A coil can be inserted up to 5 days
after unprotected sex. So, if you
didn't use any contraception, or the
condom burst, arrange to see a
doctor as soon as possible.
Ask the receptionist for an urgent
appointment ? you do not need to say
why!
Think you might be Pregnant?
See a Doctor or Practice Nurse as
soon as possible. They will help you
to consider your options and offer
help and advice whatever you decide
to do.
Free emergency contraception is
available from this practice. You
can also get free emergency
contraception from Family Planning
Clinics, Sexual health Clinics (GUM)
and some Chemists.
SOMEONE TO TALK TO
Suffering from stress, exam
problems, worried about your weight,
relationships or feeling depressed?
The surgery may be a good place for
you to get some help and all the
Doctors and Practice Nurses are
happy to see you with these sorts of
problems.
We also support the Time 4 U clinics
held at Hanley Castle High School.
