This is an automated service which asks for your name, DOB, contact number, and the date, time and venue of your appointment.
Messages can be left at any time during the day or night and are checked regularly. Allowing sufficient time before your appointment would be much appreciated. The emergence last year and rapid spread of a new mpox virus strain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, clade 1b, is one of the main reasons for the declaration. Currently, there are no cases of Clade 1 mpox confirmed in the UK.
There are only two cases confirmed outside Africa at present in Sweden and Thailand as of 27 August. However, planning is underway to prepare for any cases that we might see in the UK. There are no current plans to offer further vaccination within the UK, although this may change. We will communicate any updates and advertise vaccination clinics via this website if these become available. If you have any concerns that you may be experiencing mpox symptoms, please call the clinic on for further advice.
We do not offer walk in appointments but we understand that you may be concerned so please ring us first and we will be able to help you. A booked appointment will be offered if necessary following a telephone consultation with one of our clinicians.
They will discuss your concerns and signpost you to the most appropriate service. We do have a number of same day appointments every day, to see you as soon as possible. Clinic addresses and opening hours. If you would prefer to screen at home please use the online STI testing service via www. You will be triaged online and will be sent a kit to your home or be offered a call back from one of our nurses, depending on your needs.
