Due to staffing constraints, new appointments for the following services can only be booked online for the remainder of this week:

  • PrEP 
  • Contraceptive Implants
  • Contraceptive Coils
  • STI No Symptoms
  • Young People Clinic

If our booking portal is showing no appointments available in your area then unfortunately our appointments are fully booked. Please do not call us as we do not have access to any additional appointments. If this is the case, please check for appointments becoming available later in the week.

Our switchboard remains open only for those with symptoms or those seeking support for unintended pregnancy.

We thank you for your patience and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Appointments booked online can also be cancelled and amended via the same booking portal.

 

Vaccinations

Vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and Mpox.

Vaccination eligibility

We do not offer vaccinations to everyone, and you do not have to accept a vaccination if it is offered or suggested to you.

The decision to offer you a vaccination will be based on if you are eligible such as who you have sex with, your gender and your age. Direction on who we offer vaccination to is from the Scottish Government’s Chief Medical Officer.  

You will normally be offered the vaccination if you are eligible whilst you are already at Sandyford for another appointment. We will sometimes offer vaccination-only appointments which will be advertised and bookable via the usual methods to those who are eligible when these are available.

It is important that you read the below before booking a vaccination appointment.

Vaccination eligibility - please read

HPV vaccine is now available to men in sexual health services. To be eligible for the first dose, you must be both:

  • Aged 45 years and under
  • Sexually active with other men

Hepatitis B vaccine – this vaccine offers protection against hepatitis B and is available to those who are at high risk of developing the infection.

This includes people originally from high-risk countries, people who inject drugs and people who have unprotected sex with multiple sexual partners 

Hepatitis A Vaccination isn’t routinely offered in the UK because the risk of infection is low for most people. It is only recommended for people at high risk including:

  • Men who are sexually active with other men
  • People who inject drugs

Please note Sandyford can only offer these vaccinations to those who are at risk through sexual activity.
