Sexual Health Service Continuation and Upcoming Changes

The East Berkshire Sexual Health Service has successfully secured a new tender.

This achievement means that residents will continue to benefit from comprehensive sexual health support, with the high standard of care and accessibility that the community has come to expect.

Service changes from July 2026

From July 2026, the East Berkshire Integrated Sexual Health Service will introduce several enhancements.

One of the main changes will be greater digital access for those seeking care for asymptomatic or lower-complexity sexual health concerns.

These changes will mean greater choice and convenience for those who need quick support.

Our service will continue to offer face-to-face appointments for people who need it.

Walk-In Clinics

In its ongoing commitment to improving accessibility, the service will be expanding walk-in clinic opportunities in Slough.

Walk-in clinics are now available every Friday, providing more flexibility for those who need care without a scheduled appointment.

From 1 June, walk-in capacity will be increased on Mondays.

You can download posters with the information on our walk-in clinics.

Outreach service expansion

Our outreach service will also continue to grow across the entire East Berkshire region. 

This expansion will ensure that all residents, regardless of their location within East Berkshire, have full access to outreach support and the essential services provided.

Training

We are a training centre for Genitourinary Medicine (GUM) / Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) competencies (STIF/ COSRH, LOC). As a service, we will be offering regular sexual health updates to primary care.

Updates on SRH, GUM, and HIV will be delivered through virtual and accessible sessions. Details around these sessions will be available on our website.

Additionally, we will also be supporting primary care colleagues with free STIF and COSRH training upon request.
