56 Dean Street Clinic for LGBTQI+ patients

56 Dean Street runs an outreach clinic at the Health Centre every Friday. It is a pioneering integrated NHS service where our LGBTQI+ patients can easily access free specialist and preventive sexual healthcare at their GP. For full details, see here.

Forms & Certificates

Forms

We can complete private forms for insurance and other services. You must complete all relevant sections on the form and provide us all relevant documents including a signed consent form. Your document will then be processed and reception will contact you to arrange an appointment with a doctor, or to advise that the form/letter is ready for collection. This process takes between 7-20 working days for completion. The NHS does not cover form completions, so there is a charge for this service. Please ask reception.

Studying Abroad/Electives

If you are going to study abroad and in need of immunisation and/or proof of vaccine record, please call us to inquire. Please do NOT use the travel clinic form as this is a separate process.

Medical Certificates

Charges do not apply to medical certificates for the University. Please note if this isn't something you've previously discussed with us, you may need to book an appointment so we can further assist you. Visit here for full details on how to request a medical certificate.

Contraception

All our doctors and nurses are able to provide up to date and safe contraceptive advice.

You have a choice of the contraceptive pill, depo contraceptive injections and contraceptive implants (Nexplanon). We also offer hormonal and non-hormonal coil fitting (IUD/IUS –Mirena).

Visit Contraception - NHS for information on the different methods.

We have regular clinics for contraception coils and implants every month. Please see a nurse or GP to be referred.

Cervical Screening/Smear Test/Pap Test

Cervical smear test is a quick, reliable and easy screening which can detect abnormal cells very early on. In the UK, the test is free and offered to women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64.

The abnormal cells may turn into cancer of the neck of the womb if not treated in their early stages. We now test all cervical smears for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which has been found to be one of the causes of cervical cancer.

Regular smear tests can prevent cervical cancer so it is very important to have one done. Please call us to book, and visit NHS.UK to find out what happens at a cervical screening.
