At Southbourne surgery we offer the progesterone only pill, combined contraception, implant fittings and removal, coil fittings and removal and the depot injection, emergency oral contraception. You initial discussion will usually be with one of the practice nurses. Please submit an online request via Accurx or call the patient services team to arrange a routine pre bookable slot (unless you require emergency contraception due to unprotected sexual intercourse, you will need an appointment within 72 hours).
Arranging an appointment for a coil fitting or implant will be discussed in more detail and you will need a consultation with one of our doctors.
