For patients being referred to sexual health clinics for an IUD insertion or refit, it is not necessary for the device to be prescribed and collected from pharmacy by the patient prior to their appointment. Sexual health clinics keep a full range of devices in stock. This practice can sometimes lead to unnecessary waste of devices or delays.

Devon Sexual Health and Sexual Health in Plymouth (SHIP) are hosting a new Virtual Implant Fitters Forum on Tuesday 10 November. The forum with cover: new implant licensing; progestogen risks; deep implant management and case discussions. Registration through eventbrite.
