Contraception

There are a wide variety of contraceptive methods available - not just condoms or 'the pill'. Choosing the right method which suits you and fits in with your lifestyle is important. All the doctors and nurses at the University Medical Centre are trained in contraception. We are here to offer you advice and info to help you decide what method to choose and we offer a full range of contraceptive services, including emergency contraception.

Where contraception fails we believe that women should have the opportunity to choose the outcome of their pregnancy.
