We are a ‘Teenager Friendly’ medical practice.
We aim to offer services which are ‘teenage-friendly’.
At our practices, we do the following;
- We welcome teenagers and aim to put them at ease when they come to the practice.
- We can assure teenagers that confidentiality will be maintained if aged 12 to 16 years, and they ask to keep details of their consultations confidential or if they consult us about potentially sensitive issues.
- Teenagers are welcome to see a Doctor on their own if they wish and are aged 12 to 16 years. We would however advise them to come with an adult where possible.
- Sexual health advice is available, as is advice on other issues such as depression, drugs, alcohol and self-harm and we can advise teenagers about emergency contraception if required.
