What is Health Spot Newham?
Health Spot Newham is a free GP service for all young people aged 11 – 19 years, and up to 25 years with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). It offers appointments with a doctor who is experienced in supporting young people. A youth worker can also support, if the young person would like them to.
Appointments are confidential. Any young person aged 11 years and over can book an appointment, even if they are not already registered with a GP or live outside of Newham.
Health Spot Newham can help with:
- Physical health
- Mental health
- Sexual health
- Substance misuse
- And anything else.
