Sexual health services

Chlamydia testing and treatment
Chlamydia is the most commonly diagnosed sexually-transmitted infection in the UK and you don’t need to have had lots of sexual partners to be at risk. For most people chlamydia has no symptoms, so you probably won't know if you or your partner(s) have it without having a test.
Our pharmacy works within the national chlamydia testing and treatment service, providing confidential screening. If you are worried that you are at risk of chlamydia infection, then just ask to speak to our pharmacist in confidence and put your mind at rest.
