South Lambeth’s new home for sexual health services

The sexual and reproductive health service in Lambeth has moved to Minnie Kidd House in Clapham.

The service, which is provided by Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, is available on the newly refurbished first floor of Minnie Kidd House. Previously the service was offered at Streatham Hill clinic, which has now closed.

Word from the Cabinet

Cllr Jacqui Dyer, Lambeth’s Cabinet Member for Healthier Communities, said: “For STI Awareness Day on 14 January we hope to raise awareness of sexual health in Lambeth and highlight Minnie Kidd House as the newest clinic in Lambeth.

“All Lambeth sexual health clinics are free and available to everyone, no matter your age, gender, ethnicity or sexuality. Staff at a sexual health clinic will not tell anyone what you discuss without your permission. This includes your GP.”

Services at Minnie Kidd House

Walk-in service provides:

  • assessment of sexual health symptoms
  • treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
  • contraception
  • post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)
  • pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)
  • care and support after experiences of sexual assault, sexual violence, or domestic violence
  • care and support if you have problems with chemsex (using drugs as part of your sex life)
  • referral information for sexual health counselling
  • referral information for psychosexual therapy

There is a priority service for young people (under 18), emergency contraception, and people with severe symptoms.
