Contraceptive Implants


The implant is a small, flexible rod placed under the skin of your upper arm.

​It releases progestogen to stop ovulation and is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

Who can use it?

Most people can, though it may not be suitable if you prefer regular periods or have certain medical conditions.

You can book an appointment to discuss and arrange a fitting. You can also check with your GP practice to find out if they can help.
