Contraception & Sexual Health
We can give you information and advice about sexual health, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and methods of contraception. Some forms of contraception can be prescribed by us, such as the pill, contraceptive injections, patches or vaginal ring.
We can prescribe emergency contraception, however, it may be quicker and easier to go to a local sexual health clinic.
Testing for STIs including HIV and some forms of contraceptive such as IUS, IUD and contraceptive implants must be done at a sexual health clinic.
You can find your nearest sexual health clinic on the NHS website.
The NHS contraception guide might help you before your appointment.
