Call back from Sandyford
Please be aware that NHSGGC has changed their outbound telephone number from 0800 678 3393 to a 0141 number.
As with the 0800 number, if the 0141 number is called back there is a message that says ‘this number does not accept incoming calls’.
Missed appointments
People failing to attend appointments accounted for as much as 29% of allocated appointments at some clinics last year. This unfortunately negatively impacts those waiting for appointments, and means an increase in waiting times for those who do wish to attend.
If you can no longer attend your appointment, or you need to reschedule, please either manage your appointment via our Online Booking portal (if this is how you booked it originally), or call us.

Private Testing
We are aware that some people are choosing to have an STI test through a private clinic or through a privately provided at home STI testing kit. Please note that Sandyford and Brownlee are unable to offer treatment to patients unless they have been tested by the NHS. Therefore, if you are under taking a STI test in a commercial venue or at home you may wish to check if it is a NHS run project.
