We are pleased to be able to offer you a new service during the coronavirus crisis, to try and improve your access to sexual health care from the convenience of your home.

We have telephone consultations with doctors available every weekday and these can be booked by email of telephone call. A telephone consultation costs £35 at this time and we can also provide advice, testing and treatment (please see our price list page). We have tried to keep our prices low during this difficult time, but you can be assured care will still be of the highest standard.

We are pleased to be able to provide confidential tests to an address of your choice. These are posted in plain envelopes with no sign visible that show it contains a STI test. The kits contain excellent instructions as how to perform your test and once completed can be posted in pre-paid envelopes to our laboratory. The tests are of the highest quality and reliability. Results return within 5 working days of arrival at the laboratory and results are given via a discrete text message. This is in association with our sister company Instant Test Limited, a trusted source of STI tests. Advice, care and treatments may also be provided via telephone consultation with our doctors, or if you simply want a postal test alone, we can arrange that for you too.

We look forward to helping you.
