Waiting at the GUM Clinic

After registering you will be asked to sit in the waiting room before you see a doctor, nurse or health advisor. We do our best to keep your wait as short as possible, although sometimes delays are inevitable

You should expect your first visit to last around 1-2 hours. During this time you will see a doctor, nurse and probably a health advisor.

If you have made an appointment we try hard to see you within 30 minutes of your appointment time. If you have attended a drop-in session, no appointment is required but you may have to wait as we will see people in the order that they attend. People with prebooked appointments are given precedence.

The waiting room is for both men and women. It has a soft drinks machine and plenty of magazines.

Please feel free to bring a friend with you if you wish. However we would prefer to see you alone during your consultation and examination.
