Sexual health in the community
Lewisham Sexual Health Services are run from our two community sites:
- The Waldron Health Centre, New Cross
- The Primary Care Centre, Hawstead Road, Catford
We offer a walk-in service at both of these locations.
Our sexual health clinics are dedicated to testing and treating a wide range of sexual health conditions led by specialist medical teams. Services offered include:
- Tests and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Genital warts treatment including cryotherapy
- HIV testing
- Services for young people
- Emergency hormonal contraception
- PEP (post exposure prophylaxis)+
- PrEP (pre exposure prophylaxis)
- Vaccinations
- Genital skin care and advice
Please note we do not offer cervical smears – please contact your GP if you need to have this done.
The table below provides a visual breakdown of which services you will find at each location:
How our walk-ins work
Please be aware that the walk-in operates on a first come, first served basis and that we will operate a slot-system (meaning after booking in, you may be asked to return later in the day). This is to reduce your waiting time in the clinic. Walk-in slots are dependent on our capacity and not available to booking by phone.
We still offer limited appointments that are bookable online (click on the 'book now' button')
Saturday will remain an appointment clinic with bookings made by telephone from Thursday of that week.
If there are no appointments available, please try again later. Appointments are released 24 hours in advance between 9.30 – 10am.
