The Genito-Urinary Medicine (GUM Clinic) provides a discreet, confidential and high quality service providing diagnosis and treatment for both sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and other G-U problems. We are also able to offer screening for STDs and HIV testing/counselling.

Common conditions such as chlamydia, herpes (type 1 & 2), genital warts, recurrent thrush, NSU, bacterial vaginosis, and genital skin disorders can all be dealt with. We are able to offer cryotherapy as a treatment option for genital warts.

Consultations are of 30 minutes duration and 15 minutes follow-up where necessary. All patients will be offered a chaperone if required. All consultations and follow-ups are undertaken by Doctor Stephens who is also very happy to discuss your requirements/needs prior to the initial consultation, to ensure that the service is suitable for your particular problem or concern.

Where particular tests are required Dr Stephens will inform you of the relevant costs and reporting times. Results and further discussion of test outcome will be arranged by Doctor Stephens either by telephone call or a follow-up appointment if required.

The clinic runs on a weekly basis on a Wednesday afternoon and all you have to do is telephone one of our friendly receptionists for an appointment. More urgent consultations can usually be arranged as well.
