-
The Market Street Contraception and Sexual Health Service (CASH) provides complex contraceptive care and non-complex sexual health care to residents living in the borough of Bexley and Greenwich.
The service offers all types of contraception including:
- Pills
- Patches
- Injectable contraception
- Coils
- Implant
If you need further information on contraception and home testing kits please read our useful information tab.
Please note: Coil appointments are timed to facilitate fitting on the same day and full instructions are sent out with the appointment.
We can diagnose non-complex sexually transmitted infections and may be able to treat them on the same day.
We cannot provide first-line treatment for non-sexually transmitted vaginal conditions such as Thrush or Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). Instead, we recommend you access over-the-counter treatments.
We also manage a community gynaecology service from Market St. These require a GP referral. If you are offered a community gynaecology appointment, it may be at one of our off-site clinics in Greenwich or Bexley.
