Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) is a highly effective and convenient option for individuals seeking reliable birth control methods. Our team of dedicated healthcare professionals is here to provide you with comprehensive information and personalized guidance regarding LARC methods.

What is LARC?

Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) includes intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive implants, both of which offer extended protection against unintended pregnancies. These methods are highly effective, reversible, and suitable for women of all ages.

Advantages of LARC:

• Highly Effective: LARC methods are over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.
• Long-Lasting: Once inserted, you can forget about daily or monthly reminders.
• Reversible: Fertility returns quickly after removal, making it a suitable option for those planning to conceive in the future.
• Convenient: No need to interrupt intimacy or remember to take a pill.

How to Get Started:

1. Schedule an Appointment: complete a online consultation form and we will book you a confidential consultation with a Practice Nurse
2. Consultation: Discuss your options, concerns, and medical history with our Nurses. 
3. Insertion: If you decide on a LARC method, one of our GPs will ensure a safe and comfortable insertion process.
