Primary care Clinicians in Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest are invited to this LARC study day being delivered by Train All East Primary Care Support Team.
Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) methods, including the subdermal implant (SDI), are highly reliable – research has shown LARC to be 20 times more effective than contraceptive pills, the patch, or the vaginal ring.
For the average health professional in primary care, contraception advice and/or provision forms an integral part of day-to-day practice. Indeed, figures show that primary care is the main source of contraception provision for the majority of UK women of all ages. The uptake of LARC is low in East London, yet increased uptake could help to reduce unintended pregnancy.
This study day will provide guidance and training so that you can help women make an informed choice about LARC in general and SDI in particular.
TARGET AUDIENCE
