Warning

Sandyford is the specialist sexual health service for NHS GGC. We work alongside others to provide the full range of services required for positive sexual health. When patients attend any Sandyford service, they can expect to be listened to without being judged and for their treatment and care to be sensitive and confidential.

To see the full range of services we offer click through to Sandyford services external link and locations external link. A collection of videos that explain more about the services are in development. Some of these are completed for you to share with those you support.

The demand for services often outweighs our capacity. Therefore, we concentrate on the specialised sexual health services. GP or local pharmacist may supply more general sexual health services like routine contraception.

The Sandyford Inclusion Team can provide support for people who have difficulty to access sexual health services. For example, if they need to bring a carer or require a longer appointment time.  

If your patient/client can attend the appointment with minimal support they should be directed to view www.sandyford.scot external link

Otherwise please read information external link about how the Sandyford Inclusion Team and Health Improvement Team can support vulnerable adults with relationships and sexual health.
