The Online Clinic
The Online Clinic is an online platform where patients and doctors can communicate efficiently. Whether you do not have time to go to your GP or you are embarrassed to see a doctor face to face regarding a particular condition, The Online Clinic can help. We are licensed by the Care Quality Commission and we promise speed and confidentiality. But how does it work? You simply fill out a free medical consultation relevant to the condition you are suffering and the doctor will get back to you. If appropriate, the doctor will prescribe a medication, which you can then purchase on the website and get it delivered the next day.

Bladder & Bowel Foundation
The Bladder and Bowel Foundation (B&BF) is the only UK wide charity dedicated to helping people manage their continence needs as a result of both bladder and bowel control problems. B&BF provides information and support services, including a confidential helpline, for anyone affected by these conditions, as well as their families, carers and healthcare professionals. The charity is passionate about raising awareness of these often hidden conditions and campaigns for better services, treatments and products by working with researchers, individuals and other related organisations. B&BF aims to make a real difference to the lives of those living with bladder and bowel control problems and will work towards delivering the kind of services that meet the needs of people affected.
GMFA
GMFA is the UK’s leading gay men’s health charity. HIV and sexual health are at the heart of our work but we also seek to reduce other health inequalities that affect gay men. Our aim is that no gay man suffers poor health as a result of his sexuality.
GMFA uses the knowledge and skills of our volunteers, most of them gay men, to design and plan our health promotion campaigns. These include mass and small media campaigns; FS magazine and information websites.
Men's Health Forum
The Men’s Health Forum is the voice for the health and wellbeing of men and boys in England and Wales.
Our goal is the best possible physical and mental health and wellbeing for all men and boys. There is one premature male death every five minutes and far too many men and boys suffer from health problems that could be prevented.
