For a guide to finding YorSexual Health in Selby Hospital, please watch our walk-through video:
We offer a mixture of planned appointments and same day access slots.
All of our clinics at Selby Hospital are pre-booked appointments. Please call the central booking line on 01904 721111 to discuss your requirements.
We offer some of our services over the phone, so it may be that you are asked to wait for a call back from a specialist nurse who will ask some questions and advise from the following: • Self- help or over the counter pharmacy treatment • Postal or pick up contraception or treatment • Face to face clinic appointment for STI Testing, examination and or procedure • Advice around how to test for STI’s • Advice to see to GP
We offer dedicated “Test and Go” (TAG) slots for those who have no symptoms but wish to have STI testing.
We have a limited number of face-to-face clinic slots and a limited number of call back slots. Staff on the phones are trying to allocate these slots according to urgency so please give as much information as you can. This is a confidential service.

If you’d like to rearrange your appointment, please call us on 01904 721111. If you’d like to cancel your appointment, please text ‘CANCEL’ to 0798444736 or call us on 01904 721111.
Please note that this text line is not manned; it operates solely for appointment cancellations for users with one appointment only.
The NHS loses 650,000 appointments every month because patients do not attend their appointment (DNA). If patients cancel their appointment instead, we could offer care and treatment to 650,000 more patients every month, over 7 and half million extra every year. Please help us to make every appointment count and let us know as soon as possible ahead of your appointment so that we have time to give the appointment to someone else in need. Please be advised that this applied to both face to face and virtual appointments.

On Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, all evening services are suspended including all walk in clinics.
All our clinics will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Years Day. This means some of our weekly clinics may not be running for a couple of weeks and you may be asked to travel to another clinic should you need an appointment within this time.
If you need urgent help during our closure periods, please seek advice from NHS 111 or for urgent help (such as for PEP), please visit your local A&E. Please see guidance on the various avenues for support and treatment.
STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) can be the unwanted Christmas gift that keeps on giving 🎁
Increased mingling during the season means the incidences of common STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhoea, and more serious infections such as HIV and Hepatitis B, often increase. Like any time of the year, your best defence is a condom. For oral sex, you can use a dental dam which is a thin piece of latex which prevents infections passing from genitals to mouth.
Being prepared is essential when looking after your sexual health this Christmas - pop a condom or dam into your bag before you head out to get merry 🎄
It's your responsibility to keep yourself safe, ensuring you don't end up with an unwanted gift that you might re-gift to someone else!
