Contraceptive Services
The practice offers a full range of contraceptive services. We don’t hold a special clinic, but you can discuss your needs with any of the doctors who can offer contraceptive advice and emergency contraception.
Our nurses are able to perform routine pill checks and Depo contraceptive injections and our Nurse Practitioners can initiate prescriptions for either of these if you aren’t already using these methods.
We are also able to offer contraception coil fitting, including the Mirena system. If you are particularly interested in either of these methods, then please make an appointment to see one of the three to discuss (this can usually be done over the telephone). The clinician will then be able to advise on a fitment appointment.
