Contraception and Coil fitting/removal

Contraception and Coil fitting/removal


How do I...Book an appointment to discuss new contraception or for a pill check?


Patients can book in to discuss starting contraception with a GP – this can be done via our online system: Patient Access, or telephone reception to book an appointment.

If you are already taking the contraceptive pill and need more again please contact us by telephone – Pill checks can also be arranged in person with the nurse routinely again via accruRx. 

Contraception can also be arranged via the Locala Service in Stockport

 

 


How do I...Arrange to have a coil or contraceptive implant fitted or removed? 


Patients wanting a coil should request an appointment with a GP to discuss this –  reception can complete the form on patient’s behalf where necessary. After assessment we can refer patients to a local surgery for coil or contraceptive fitting or replacement.

Patients can also self-refer to the Locala Sexual Health Service for coil or contraceptive fittings or changes.

Some of our GPs are trained to remove coils.
