New Oldham Sexual Health Outreach Team
The ORBISH service provides confidential support for vulnerable young people aged 13–19 (and up to 25 for those with SEN). The service works with young people who are cared for, have additional needs, or may be at risk of exploitation.
What ORBISH Offers
- Clinical support: contraception advice, sexual health screening, outreach appointments and targeted drop‑ins.
- 1:1 education sessions: tailored sessions on consent, healthy relationships, contraception, STIs, online safety and risk‑taking behaviour.
- Targeted group work and promotional activity at events.
- Flexible locations: sessions can take place in schools, colleges, clinics, at home or any suitable private venue
Accessing the Service
- Referrals: complete the referral form and email vcl.orbishyp@nhs.net
- Self‑referral: young people can contact the service directly.
- Telephone: 01706 202 444 (voicemail available)
A new step‑by‑step booklet is available to help professionals start conversations around relationships and sexual health. It is designed for lower‑level concerns and does not replace the formal referral process.
