Contraception
We provide a comprehensive range of contraceptive options and aim to offer good access to this service, urgently when necessary. Contraception can be discussed and provided in consultation with any doctor and with many of our nurses.
We also offer sexual health advice and a full range of tests for sexually transmitted infections.
We are happy to discuss contraceptive pills, injectable (depot) contraceptives and barrier methods (e.g. condoms) in routine surgeries.
However, women are increasingly choosing long-acting forms of contraception including contraceptive implants and coils (IUDs). Any women interested in these methods may discuss them with any doctor or book an appointment with Dr McGuinness who has a special interest in this area.

Emergency Contraception
Anyone requiring emergency contraception can access help and advice on the same day. One of our nurses offers emergency contraceptive advice; she is happy to see any woman who needs emergency contraception and if appropriate, provide her with medication on the premises.
Coils (IUDs) may also be used for emergency contraception. These can be arranged through our local family planning clinic on 0117 929 1010 or 0117 927 6781.
