Medical Examinations & Sexual Health Screening
Archway is a specialist sexual assault referral centre based in the centre of Glasgow that provides forensic medical examinations, sexual health screening, emergency contraception, follow up support and counselling to people who have experienced recent rape or/and sexual assault.
Please note: Archway has experienced staff shortages over the last few months and is currently unable to operate on a 24/7 basis.
NHS Lanarkshire now has a service agreement with Archway and the following criteria applies to Lanarkshire residents:
You should call 0141 211 8175 if you want to make a referral.
The incident does not need to have been reported to the police, and Archway can store evidence for up to 12 weeks to let the person decide if they wish to proceed with a complaint.
If it is more than 7 days since the assault tool place, or you are under 16 years, you can access medical care through your local sexual health service or call 0845 618 7191

The Human Cost of Trafficking
Sex trafficking is the exploitation of women and children, for forced sex work. Commercial sexual exploitation includes pornography, prostitution and sex trafficking of women and girls. Each year, an estimated 800,000 women and children are trafficked across international borders – though additional numbers of women and girls are trafficked within countries
