MSI Reproductive Choices UK is now providing Local Authority-funded long-acting contraception services for anyone living or registered with a GP in Lambeth, increasing choice for anyone looking to access contraception in the area.
The fitting and removal of the non-hormonal coil, the hormonal coil and the contraceptive implant will now be offered.
What is long-acting reversible contraception?
Long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods include the hormonal coil, the non-hormonal coil, the implant and the injection. They offer excellent protection against pregnancy, ranging from three months up to ten years.
They’re ideal if you know that you do not want to have children for a while. In fact, once in place, you don’t need to think about these methods until they need replacing, and none of them interrupt sex.
LARC methods can also be used to manage heavy periods, help conditions such as endometriosis and as part of a hormone replacement therapy.
I’m living/registered with a GP in Lambeth: how can I book a contraception appointment with MSI UK?

Which contraceptive method is right for me?
We know that when it comes to contraception, it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. There are many reasons you may prefer one method over another, and the type of contraception that works best for you will depend on a number of things, including your medical history.
During your appointment, we will help you understand all of your options, and will support you in your choice.
This includes any concerns that you may have in relation to pain and having a coil or implant fitted.
