When you come to visit an STD clinic its normal to have some questions. These may be about anonymity or waiting times. However there are straight forward answers to many of these questions:
1. Do I need to let my GP know? You do not need to let your doctor know when attending a private clinic. This guarantees your anonymity. This can give many people the confidence to attend an STD clinic when previously they felt too nervous to book an appointment.
2. Do I need to make an appointment? If your private clinic offers a walk-in service then there is no need to book an appointment - you can simply turn up. At an NHS GUM clinic you will experience long waiting times so a private clinic will offer a faster service.
3. Will I need to wait a long time to see a private doctor? At the top STD clinics you can be seen and dealt with within 30 minutes however at an NHS GUM clinic waiting times can be considerable so you will struggle to fit it in your lunch time.
4. Do I have to give my name? You can choose to use a different name if you feel more comfortable but be assured that if you use your real name it will remain confidential.
5. Can you assure me confidentiality? Private clinics adhere to different laws to your GP where medical records are concerned. Your records at the GP can be accessed for insurance or employment purposes in special cases however the information you provide to a private clinic is protected by the Data Protection Act.
6. Is the environment discreet and confidential? High quality private clinics will often be located away from busy streets where there is a high density of pubs and shops. At samedaydoctor.co.uk we offer a high quality service that is discreet and confidential.
