Contraceptive Implant Questionnaire

By completing this form you are requesting to go on our list for a contraceptive implant fitted/changed/removed; please read and complete the following questionnaire to be placed on our waiting list (up to 6 weeks).

An appointment for Implant fitting/change/removal is 30 minutes with both a nurse and a doctor which is the equivalent to 6 normal appointments, so patients who do not attend their appointments without warning are preventing another lady from receiving contraception or 6 patients who are unwell being cared for.

There are very few people for whom sub cutaneous implant contraception is not suitable, but prior to fitting some do need further investigations. To try to save you time by avoiding unnecessary appointments we are using this questionnaire.

Please be aware there must be no risk of pregnancy when you attend for your implant fitting i.e. you must be using a reliable method of contraception since your last normal period (withdrawal method is not a reliable method) or not have had sex since your last period.

The procedure involves an injection or small cut under local anaesthetic. There is usually a tiny white mark left on the skin. There is a small risk of bruising, bleeding or infection.

If you would like to discuss your request further, please request a routine telephone consultation with Dr Hannah Davidson.
