The under 25s drop in clinic is now being managed slightly differently. All under 18s should visit either St Mary’s in Newport or the Health and Well Being Centre in Ryde as directed in the advert above. Under 25s are still being seen as drop-ins on Wednesday afternoon from 2.00pm.
A full range of family planning care, including coil fitting and emergency contraception, is available from the surgery. Family planning advice is available from your own doctor during a normal surgery appointment or you can make an appointment in our family planning clinic, which is held as per the above schedule.
We strongly believe in the preventative value of regular cervical smears. Having a cervical smear performed is a simple, painless procedure. Patients are regularly called by the computer programme operated by PPSA.
The fitting of an intra-uterine device (coil), diaphragm (cap) or implant requires a special appointment which you may arrange after discussion with your family planning nurse or doctor.
You do not have to be registered with a practice in order to obtain family planning advice. Patients of this practice are able to attend any of the other local surgeries for contraceptive advice if they wish. Similarly, patients of other local surgeries are welcome to attend us for contraceptive advice.
Free, confidential, no appointment needed.
