Coil Advice/Appointments
We offer coil fitting/removal/replacement at the practice. Prior to the procedure, we would book you a telephone consultation with the appropriate nurse/GP to discuss your options. Please see our leaflet that has lots of information on coil fitting.
Sayana Press Injection
If you have been prescribed the Sayana press contraceptive injection, we have some resources to support the use of this.
Emergency contraception
The sooner you act after having unprotected sex, the better. Emergency contraception is a way of preventing pregnancy after you have had sex without using contraception or when contraception has failed. If you take the emergency contraception (pill) or have an intrauterine device (coil) fitted within 5 days it will usually prevent pregnancy. Emergency contraception does not cause an abortion. Emergency contraception does not protect you from sexually transmitted infections. Please note the Emergency contraception (morning after pill) can be obtained from most Pharmacies.
Who to book an appointment with
All of our doctors can prescribe pills, rings, patches and injections. For further information please contact the Practice on 0345 337 6350.
