Young Persons Clinic for under 25s

You may be asked a few questions in private about your attendance so we can make sure you see the right person. You will be asked to complete a brief registration form. You will see a trained health care professional in a private room to find out more about how we can help. Depending on the issue we can offer testing, treatment, advice or contraception. We can refer to some other support services if this is helpful. We will keep your information confidential and not share details of your attendance with anyone. This may change if we are concerned that you might be at risk of harm, but we will discuss this with you first.  

Yes, they may be asked to wait in the waiting area for some of your appointment so we can also talk to you alone.  

Our SHAC West clinic is for people under 25 and offers a range of sexual health services and contraception options.  

The C-Card scheme offers young people access to free condoms and lube from over 90 different locations around the city by downloading the Brighton and Hove C-Card app to their phone. Use the interactive map in the app to find the closest and most convenient site to collect free condoms from.  

All C-Card sites that provide free condoms also offer free chlamydia & gonorrhoea self-test kits for people under the age of 25. These can be taken away to be completed wherever is most comfortable, and are returned via freepost for testing.  

The app also provides information on which pharmacies provide free emergency hormonal contraception (also known as “the morning-after pill”) for people under the age of 25, and where to find them.
