Sexual Health

Sandyford provides an integrated sexual and reproductive health service across the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde area; Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde and Renfrewshire. It is delivered in a confidential, friendly, non- judgmental manner from a range of highly professional staff that include doctors, nurses, counsellors, reception, and administration staff to name a few.

Patients requiring vasectomy can self-refer to Sandyford vasectomy service. All patients will receive a perioperative counselling appointment, providing them with a dedicated time to discuss all aspects of the procedure. When the patient is ready, they can be treated under local anaesthetic at the Sandyford Central Building on Sauchiehall Street. If the patient needs a general anaesthetic or treatment on an acute site, the Sandyford team will refer them directly onto Acute Urology service.
