Contraception

The Blackdown Practice- Contraception

The doctors are happy to advise on all methods of contraception including emergency contraception. We also offer the fitting and removal of the contraceptive implant, and the removal of coils.

We do not fit intrauterine coils (Mirena or copper coils). For this service please contact:

If a replacement coil is required for HRT rather than contraception, please speak with the GP as this requires a referral to gynaecology.

Request an appointment at the surgery

If the services above are not suitable, you can request an appointment at the surgery.
