Contraception
Contraception advice and review
A conversation about what suits your circumstances, not a menu.
Choosing contraception is a decision that depends on your health history, your circumstances and what you want from a method. It is worth a proper conversation.
In a consultation the doctor takes your history, talks through the options that are appropriate for you, and either prescribes where that is suitable or arranges what needs to happen in person.
What this covers
- Discussion of contraceptive options appropriate to your history
- Starting a method, where clinically appropriate
- Review of a method you are already using
- Managing side effects or switching methods
- Referral for methods that must be fitted or administered in person
Good to know
Methods that must be inserted, fitted or injected require an in-person appointment. A remote consultation can still cover the assessment and the decision, with the procedure arranged separately.
All services are subject to appropriate clinical assessment, professional scope of practice and clinical suitability.

Questions
Common questions
Can contraception be prescribed online?
Some methods can be prescribed remotely where clinically appropriate following an assessment. Others require an in-person appointment.
Can I switch to a different method?
Yes, that is a common reason for a consultation. The doctor will discuss why the current method is not working and what might suit better.
What if I am having side effects?
Raise it in a consultation. Side effects are a clinical matter and may mean a review, a change, or further assessment.
