Contraception
There are a number of different methods of contraception.
Only a certified practitioner can fit, replace or remove IUDs, IUSs and Implants, which is why we have set up a new Women’s Health Service at West Street Surgery.
Our Women’s Health Nurse has the reputation of being one of the most experienced, certified Women’s Health Partitioners in the locality.
We continue to offer a variety of contraception services to our patients, and by increasing capacity we can now offer the same service to patients not registered at West Street Surgery, who are unable to access a LARC contraceptive service elsewhere.
For further information on the services we offer and to check your eligibility, please email us at the address below:
