Contraception and Sexual Health (CASH) Service - Greenwich

  • The Greenwich Contraception and Sexual Health Service (CASH) provides complex contraceptive care and non-complex sexual health care.

    The service offers most types of contraception. This includes:

    • Pills
    • Patches
    • Injectable contraception
    • Coils

    Please note that 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.

    We currently provide psychosexual therapy and counselling from Market St. This also requires a GP referral. These sessions may be conducted face-to-face or online using a secure portal.

  • Address: Market Street Health Centre,  16-20 Market Street,  Woolwich, London, SE18 6QR

How to access this service

The Greenwich Contraception & Sexual Health (CASH) is currently an appointment service. All service users are first booked a phone consultation to ensure they receive an appropriate appointment.

If you are given a face-to-face appointment please do not pass urine for 1.5 hours (90 minutes) before attending. This ensures optimal accuracy of your tests.

In some cases, a phone consultation can be followed up with a postal prescription for medication collection from our reception area.

Greenwich residents who do not have any symptoms but require routine screening should access the free, fast and confidential home testing service via www.greenwichsexualhealth.org.

Residents of other London boroughs should visit www.shl.uk.

Alternatively, a self-testing kit can be collected from our reception by prior arrangement. To organise pick-up, call 020 8301 8920 and select Option 1.

Referrals

Contraception and Sexual Health services are self-referral. To self-refer, phone 020 8301 8920 for a phone consultation with a nurse.

Gynaecology and Psychosexual Therapy services are by GP referral only.

Please note that you may be asked personal questions as part of the consultation. This helps ensure you receive the correct care, testing and treatment. Information disclosed to us is confidential.
