New sexual health clinic for young people in Angus
The Linc Clinic recently opened its doors to provide sexual health advice for people aged 18 and under in Angus.
The clinic is based in Abbey Health Centre in Arbroath and is open every Monday from 4 – 5.45pm. Staff are on hand to provide confidential advice on sexual health, contraception as well as offering STI screening and treatment.
Dr Dianna Reed, Associate Specialist in Sexual Health with NHS Tayside said, “It’s great to be able to offer a dedicated clinic which is young-people friendly, at a time that suits them.
“Sexually transmitted infections can be common and pregnancies often unplanned. We aim to offer young people a service that empowers and informs healthy choices. The new Linc Clinic offers this opportunity in line with similar services in Dundee and Perth.”
Other sexual health clinics are run at Abbey Health Centre which young people are also welcome to attend.
