Family Planning And Contraception

A full range of contraceptive services is available from the doctors and practice nurses. Confidential emergency contraception and preconception  advice is also available. If you are planning a pregnancy it is a good idea to see the practice nurse who can advise you about having your rubella (German measles) immunity checked. It is also recommended that you take folic acid from the chemist from before conception until the first three months of the pregnancy.

Family planning advice can also be found here: www.fpa.org.uk/help-and-advice

If you are having a coil (IUCD) fitted at the practice click on the link below for a patient information leaflet.

If you are pregnant and are considering termination then help is available from the British Pregnancy Advisory service
