Friendly and free appointments

At Health Spot, you can have an appointment with a doctor who is experienced in supporting young people. Don’t worry, all appointments are confidential. Our staff are really friendly and non-judgemental, so you can talk to them about anything.

On this page you’ll find out what confidentiality means, and your health rights.

  • Appointments are available in-person or over the phone or video call, depending on what you prefer.

How long is an appointment?

Each consultation is 30 minutes, but can be longer if needed. Please ask us if you need a double appointment.

Can I request a male or female doctor?

Health Spot has both a male and a female doctor, so if you would like to be seen by a doctor of the same gender please ask when booking your appointment.
