  • Monday to Friday 9am - 7.30pm
    (Friday 5pm - 7.30pm - young people only session)

If you're a new patient using the drop-in service please attend half an hour before the advertised closing time.

When you first arrive at the One to One centre you will be asked to complete a registration form.

You can download and complete the registration form in advance and bring it with you to save time.

It is likely that you will be seen alone for at least part of your consultation with a health practitioner, to ensure you have privacy when we need to ask sensitive questions.

Access to abortion services

Women living in Northumberland, Newcastle or North Tyneside who are eligible for NHS treatment can refer themselves to abortion services. This means they no longer have  to go through their GP or sexual health service to get a referral although referrals can still be made through these services too.

Services are free and confidential and are available to women of all ages on a range of days and times.  When contacting the services you will need to tell them your name, date of birth and if possible the first day of your last menstrual period. All services also provide support with pregnancy decision making counselling if required and contraceptive advice and treatment.
