Contraception

General Contraceptive advice can be provided by any doctor, practice nurse or nurse practitioner at Shepley Health Centre.

In addition to this, our lady Doctor, Dr Walker also offers coil insertion (IUD's and IUS's) and contraceptive implants (Nexplanon). She asks that if you would like to consider one of these methods that you book an appointment with her specifically.

In addition to the services offered by us, you may, if you wish, access the contraceptive services offered by Locala Sexual Health.

Emergency Contraception

If you have had sexual intercourse without having used contraception, you can take emergency contraception. This works best if the treatment is taken as soon as possible after the event.

It is available over the counter from a pharmacist, through your doctors surgery or through the community contraception clinic run by Locala Sexual Health.
