* [https://www.brook.org.uk/ Brook]: "Brook has services across the UK offering free and confidential sexual health advice and contraception to young people under 25. Appointments are not usually necessary as we work on a drop in basis." Drop in services are frequently only available to younger people. For other services, an appointment is necessary. If you go into a GP in the area you live in, they can give you a list of the clinics in the area to call for appointment availability. | * [https://www.brook.org.uk/ Brook]: "Brook has services across the UK offering free and confidential sexual health advice and contraception to young people under 25.

London is also home to a number of sexual health clinics, many of which offer walk-in appointments, and provide services free-of-charge to people of all ages. A complete list is available through NHS choices.[http://www.nhs.uk/service-search/Sexual-health-services/London/Results/609/-0.085/51.511/1847/13136?distance=25] | |||
In addition, many GP surgeries provide sexual health services and offer same-day appointments, though in some areas there may be a wait to get an appointment for a prescription for birth control, and more than one appointment may be necessary to get long lasting contraception such as IUDs, which are largely handled by doctors. Nurses can place the implant and handle patient intake. Waits of more than a month are not uncommon in certain areas, such as London. However, you can call daily to get an appointment slot at an earlier time, as there are frequently cancellations. | |||
