South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust (STSFT) is the new provider of Newcastle Sexual Health Services.
To support a safe and smooth transfer next week, our Newcastle clinic will be temporarily closed on 26 February 2026 and 27 February 2026.
We will reopen on 2 March 2026, in the same Newcastle locations as before.
This short closure allows us to safely transfer staff, systems and clinics to STSFT. We are working hard to keep disruption to a minimum. We kindly ask you to bear with our team during this transition.
During this short closure, no clinics will run in Newcastle, but support is still available if you need help.
