"At the foot of the Homepage on FabGuys and FabSwingers there are a few Resource links. One of these is for Sexual Health but unfortunately links for Scotland are currently being updated. Below are the main links for Health in Scotland. First, NHS INFORM, specifically SXHealth, where you can find your local Clinic. Second, SAMH, for specific Mental Health matters. Third, Scottish Families (Affected by Alcohol and Drugs), who are also the official personal supply distributor for Naloxone. Do you know any specific links? Drop a note with your Health Board Area in Scotland and what the Resource is. https://www.nhsinform.scot/scotlands-service-directory/sexual-health-clinics//// https://www.samh.org.uk/ https://www.sfad.org.uk/ " Our sexual health clinics in Scotland are an absolute disgrace! Trying to get any form of appointment is impossible! The staff who work in them are bigots they are unable to offer any form of assistance outwith their usual script. If you live in rural Scotland you have over a month to wait for any consultation and have to travel huge distances for this so an appointment is a full day’s excursion. Oh and if you think that it’s private and confidential it’s not your details can be accessed from any clinic in Scotland which is a GDPR breach as they don’t have your permission to do so. If you wish to remain anonymous you have to request that your details are removed from their Scotland wide system. They also give you the option to sign up under a false name which is illegal should you have any notifiable infections so nowhere does it state that you are breaking the law if you give a false name. | |||

"Sandyford do drop-in clinics in Pipeworks on Wednesday afternoons. Just turn up and wait, there are usually plenty of spaces" I used the drop in for the first time last month, it was so much easier than trying to book appointments at Sandyford | |||

I have visited a number of different clinics over the years and never found any staff to be anything other than courteous, helpful and understanding of my needs and behaviours. Absolutely no judgement. 😊 | |||

I’m sorry that this is your experience with sexual health services, but it’s not what I experience. I do understand how that your remoteness may hinder your ability to get appointments when you want. I usually wait for a week or two for routine appointments but this is usually due to my shift work. Staff are fantastic and always treat me with respect and kindness. Plus we usually have a giggle and laugh. I urge anyone who has casual sexual contact with others to go and have routine tests, takes no more than half an hour and easy to do. | |||
