Young Persons Clinic

The Young Persons' Clinic (YPC) is a free service for young people aged 20 and younger. It provides STI testing, treatment and sexual health information.

The YPC Clinic is held every Thursday morning starting at 10am. It is advised to make an appointment before coming to the clinic by phoning (01) 4162315 or (01) 4162316. You can call yourself or ask a Doctor/GP to refer you for an appointment.

If you feel you need to be seen urgently we will try and see you without an appointment.

PLEASE ASK AT RECEPTION TO SPEAK TO A TRIAGE NURSE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN APPOINTMENT

Age: If you are 16 years or younger you should try and bring a parent/guardian with you.

Arrival at Clinic: When you arrive at clinic for your appointment you will be asked at Reception to complete a registration form and provide your contact details. It is very important we have your correct contact details as we may need to contact you with results.

STI Tests: Before having any tests the Doctor/Nurse Practitioner will explain to you the tests required. The routine STI screen tests for HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea. The Doctor/Nurse may need to do additional tests depending on your symptoms, sexual history and risks.

You may see a Health Advisor (Sexual Health Education and Partner Notification) or a Medical Social Worker (advice/counselling) when you attend the clinic.

Confidentiality: We provide a confidential service (i.e. we will not discuss your care or treatment outside the clinic). However, if we feel you or another person are at risk, we may need to discuss the matter with other professionals. No information will be provided to other agencies without your knowledge.
