There are a variety of options available to you for contraception, from pills through to longer acting forms such as the coil, implant and injections. We are proud to provide a full range of contraceptive services at the practice.

Evidence shows that the 7 day break from taking the pill makes it a less reliable contraceptive method. New recommendations suggest no more than a 4 day break.

Taking the pill for longer periods without a break is safe and reliable.

If you are worried you may have an STI, it is a good idea to get tested, especially if you have recently changed partners.

Many people with sexually transmitted infections have no symptoms and STIs can pass from one person to another during sex, especially if you don’t use a condom.

Free testing is available at Nottinghamshire GU clinic and by visiting www.freetest.me
