We offer a broad range of specialised clinics within our surgery. Occasionally the day on which a paticular clinic runs may change. Please check with the surgery when you make your appointment.

If you have unprotected intercourse then you mat be at risk of getting pregnant. Condoms have a nasty habit of breaking. It is possible to try and prevent pregnancy after such an accident with the post-coital pill. Emergency contraception pills can be taken up to 72 hours later. After 72 hours it may still be possible to help by using other methods. There can be no substitute for having a reliable and ongoing contraception cover if you are at rosk of getting pregnant.

 

 

We will also be happy to discuss other methods of contraception with you or ask you to make an appointment at one of the Well Woman Clinics. DON'T LEAVE IT UNTIL IT BECOMES AN EMERGENCY, COME AND DISCUSS YOUR CONTRACEPTION NEEDS BEFORE ANY ACCIDENTS OCCUR.

 

Should you fear that you are pregnant you can have a FREE PREGNANCY TEST at the surgery by asking to see one of the nursing sisters. To do a pregnancy test we need to test a specimen of the first urine you pass in the morning. Occasionally, it can be too soon after your last period to get a true positive result but the Doctor or nurse will be able to advise you. We offer both full antenatal care and counselling for termination (abortion) requests.
