At the Elms we offer family planning advice including pills, coils, diaphragms, emergency contraception and referral for contraception. All our nurses are able to deal with emergency contraception and pill checks. Two of our nurses (Ruth and Paula) are specially trained to deal with all aspects of family planning. They are also happy to discuss contraception choices. Coil fits and the contraception implant Implanon are available through an appointment with our GPs at The Elms. Dr Bethan Rees is our gynaecology specialist at the Practice.
