Venereal Disease Clinics

.Birkbeck Explains: Impact of Britain's early sexual health service - UoL > .

The first British clinics for venereal disease were established during the interwar years.

"These clinics were available to anyone, you could walk in off the street or be referred by a GP and importantly they were also free at the point of use... they changed the way that British people thought about their relationship with state-provided healthcare. The VD clinics are by no means a precursor to the NHS, but they did provide a blueprint for the type of health services that we're familiar with today."
