Long acting contraceptives are generally more reliable than pills as you don’t need to remember to take them every day. They are a great choice for people who don’t want a baby in the near future. We offer a choice of different methods.
Coils
We can help with both IUS and IUD coils. They are a small plastic device which is inserted into the womb through the cervix. It takes around 20 minutes.
- Intrauterine system (IUS)
- Releases a small amount of progesterone and lasts up to 8 years.
- Intrauterine device (IUD)
- Contains a small amount of copper and lasts between 5 and 10 years.

Implants
A small plastic rod is inserted under the skin of your upper arm under local anaesthetic. The implant slowly releases the hormone progesterone.
The implant works for up to 5 years.
