About us

Sexual Health Clinics in Bristol

• Services are free, confidential, friendly and supportive
• We are open to everyone, young and old all day walk in Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 9am - 4pm

Bristol Sexual Health Centre now offer an 'all-day' walk-in service on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9am - 4pm.

Wednesday, Friday and Saturday morning walk-in sessions are from 9 - 12 midday.

Walk-in spaces are limited and these sessions are often busy so we now operate a ticket system during these times and you may be given a ticket to return at a later time in the day.

How does the 'check-in' system work?

We will issue you with a ticket showing a time slot. You will need to come back at that time and then register to be seen. This means that you will not need to wait in clinic for longer than you need before you are seen. The time slot you are given is when we expect you to 'join' that days walk-in session. It is based on the number of staff available and the number of other patients waiting to be seen.

This time slot is NOT a guaranteed appointment time - only a time slot when you need to come back to check in and register to be seen.
