Nurse Practitioner Led Sexual Health Service
Would you like to speak with someone about your sexuality?
Are you overdue for a Pap Smear?
Have you recently had sex with someone you don’t know or have you started a new relationship?
Sexually transmissible infections (STIs) don’t always have symptoms, so you could have an STI without knowing and pass it on to someone else. It’s important to have regular check-ups. Testing for STIs is simple and the majority are easily treated.
The Sexual Health Service at Your Health Hub offers patients a confidential space, free of judgement, to improve their health and wellbeing. The service believes in optimising health outcomes for individuals to improve their sexual health at different stages throughout life.
