Contraceptive & Sexual Health Clinics
These clinics are for everyone. You can get contraception, emergency contraception, condoms, termination referrals and most offer some sexual health screening including Chlamydia screening and confidential sexual health advice. All these services are FREE and confidential. Some of these clinics are drop in, others you may need an appointment.
Young People Clinics
These clinics are especially for young people, usually around 20 and under, unless it says otherwise. You can get contraception, emergency contraception, condoms, termination referrals and most offer Chlamydia screening and confidential sexual health advice. All these services are FREE and confidential. All of these are drop in clinics, no appointment needed.
GUM/STI Clinics
These clinics specialise in the treatment of sexually transmitted infections.
Emergency Contraception
If you have had unprotected sex or your contraception has failed during sex, you are at risk of pregnancy. Emergency contraception can be taken up to 72 hours after sex, but it works better the sooner you take it.
You can get emergency contraception from contraceptive & sexual health clinics & young people clinics, however we run a scheme where pharmacists across Kent can give you emergency contraception free of charge if you are under 20.
Sexual Health Helpline
Available Monday to Friday 9.00am - 5.00pm. The helpline provides information on location, dates, times of GUM (STI) clinics, emergency contraception and other contraception including details of sexual health outreach and school nurses.
