Clinic location
The department of sexual health is located on the Clifden Road side of Homerton Hospital. The Google™ Maps UK link below will provide you with directions to our clinic.
Getting seen
We run a mixture of walk-in and a limited number of appointment only clinics.
A walk-in clinic means that these clinics can get very busy. Anyone can walk-in during the time when the clinic doors are open. Many of the evening clinics will run up to 90 minutes after the doors close, that is until the last patient is seen.
We aim for everyone to be seen and reviewed as soon as possible.
Sometimes people may appear to be seen out of turn as we run specialists appointment clinics alongside walk-in services

A doctor or nurse will call you into the consulting room and ask you about your reason for attending the clinic.
This will include some questions about your sexual partners.
If an examination is necessary a chaperone is available upon request.
If you do not understand anything during the discussion or examination, please ask.

We have an automated telephone results line for you to call. All you will need to access results will be your clinic number & date of birth.
