Barking operates as a Walk In Clinics, which means you do not need to be referred by a doctor and neither do you need to ring us and make an appointment, you just need to come along.
Please note:
The amount of people who will be seen each clinic will depend on how many staff are available that day. People will be seen in the order they arrive or according to how serious their problem is. It is best to arrive before the opening time in order to ensure you will be seen.
Once you have seen the doctor, you may be asked to wait for the initial results. So please be prepared that you may be here for most of the morning or afternoon.
The Sydenham Centre now offers a dedicated sexual health clinic session for men who have sex with men - this includes men who sometimes have sex with women as well as men who only have sex with men. Individuals with a transgender identity are welcome at this session, although we advise you contact the clinic beforehand to ensure that we are the right service to best meet your needs.
There are no age restrictions. Younger males (under 16 years old) will require a quick assessment with a Health Adviser initially to ensure this is an appropriate service in which to have their needs met.
The clinic session will be available on Wednesday evenings. The first appointment is at 4.45pm and last appointment at 6.15pm. Click here for clinic details.
