The Oxfordshire Contraception and Sexual Health (C&SH) service is provided from nine clinics across the county - the main clinic, the Alec Turnbull Centre (ATC), is located in Oxford, with eight satellite clinics located in Abingdon, Banbury, Bicester, Didcot, Kidlington, Thame, Wantage and Witney.

The Oxfordshire C&SH service sees around 17,000 patients at its main clinic and offers services such as contraceptive advice, contraceptive supplies and advice around sensitive issues like pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. The consultations are strictly confidential and you do not have to be referred by a doctor or nurse.
