Bournemouth area- NHS health clinic tests

[Shortandsensible]

Alright guys,

The nhs Dorset sexual health department has changed the way you get a screening. I’m talking about a booking for No Symptoms. Before I always just go to ring up an get an appointment with 10days-3weeks. But now it’s either ring on the day (which isn’t convenient for me) or enter the lottery so to speak and text at 7:00 the night before for a Next Day random time booking, which still isn’t massively convenient but it’ll do.
So I texted at approximately 30 seconds after 7:00 tonight, and all slots had gone already lol

How have you guys managed to get an appointment? I don’t where really, Bournemouth/Poole/Blandford.

looking at External Link/Members Only there is a pop up stating the appointment number is really busy and please be patient

further The Junction does appointments from what I can see (bournemouth) and all the options in Blandfod and Poole do too

Better than SWISH in my area. You have a 1 day a week "sit and wait" clinic which does not guarantee an appointment.  Depending on your "risk level" , age and symptoms, appointments are prioritized. So your general check up is bottom of the list. Or request an appointment via E-mail, which you get given a date and time {which is usually for about 5/6 weeks later)
