Did you know that we have a monthly drop-in at the Sexual Health Clinic?

It's and the theme is "Let's Connect", so we're shining a light on how NHS Shetland and Shetland Women's Aid work together to connect women to the services they need.

If you are being subjected to control, we know it can be incredibly difficult to contact us. Your appointment at the Sexual Health Clinic might be one of the only opportunities to be alone with a professional - and that's why we have our monthly drop-in.

As part of your appointment at the clinic, your sexual health practitioner will let you know that Shetland Women's Aid are present, and give you the opportunity to speak to one of our domestic abuse specialists in another room. You can also indicate that you would like to see us on the intake form you are given to complete at reception when you arrive at the Sexual Health Clinic.

All enquires will be handled discreetly and confidentially. You can speak to us about your own circumstances, or if you are worried about someone else. We are here to listen and support you.

For more information about the Sexual Health Clinic, or to make an appointment, please visit www.nhsshetland.scot/services/sexual-health-service or email [email protected]
