Coil (IUD – intrauterine device) and Implant
Coil and Implants can be fitted in the surgery by one of our GPs. Please book a routine appointment with a doctor to discuss your contraceptive options. If you decide you would like to have either a coil or implant following your discussion with the GP, you can arrange an appointment with reception to have this fitted.
