We won’t tell anyone what you tell us (unless
you ask us to).
Its best to discuss things with your parents/carers
but we don’t tell them (even if you are under
16), or your GP unless you say its OK.
What happens at young peoples clinics?
- When you come in you speak to the receptionist.
She asks your name and makes a set of notes (so the
doctors and nurses can make notes -their memories
aren’t big enough to remember everything about
everyone)
- The notes stay locked in the clinic cupboard. No-one
else can get to them because we keep the key.
- The nurse or doctor will call you for a chat. They’ll
ask why you came, try to sort any problems, and answer
any questions.
- The doctors are all female.
More good news:
- You don’t have to talk about anything you
don’t want to.
- You don’t need an examination to get contraception.
- You can ask about anything , even if it seems stupid
