It’s fair, friendly and confidential

When you turn up at your chosen C-Card Outlet you will be seen by a trained worker who is committed to providing a welcoming, high quality and confidential service. We realise that some people find it difficult, awkward or embarrassing to access sexual health services. That’s why all C-Card workers will be open, friendly and will treat you equally and with respect regardless of ethnic origin, sexuality, gender or age.
