There are a few community health services that you can attend without making an appointment with your family doctor or health professional. These are sometimes called "drop-in clinics".
Your family doctor is still the person whom you can come to when you have a concern about your health or well being. They can also refer you to a specialist if that is necessary.
Young Persons Drop-in Clinics
These clinics can be used by anyone under 20 and no appointment or referral is needed - you just drop in.
Advice is available on:
-
Emergency contraception and advice
-
Sexually transmitted diseases advice
-
Smoking
-
Diet
-
Asthma
-
Stress, relationships and social well being
-
Drug and alcohol support
-
Pregnancy counselling
