Much more convenient and takes away the stress

"Much more convenient and takes away the stress"

About: Sexual Health Services - South Staffordshire (Open Clinic)

(as the patient),

GP unable to advise regarding suitable contraceptive to take alongside having migraines.

I went to Stafford contraception clinic for some advice regarding different contraception options, the lovely nurse took my history and was able to inform me of a new option, a 12/13 weekly injection that you do yourself.

Being a nurse myself I’m familiar with subcutaneous injections and I feel this will be a great option for me to use from now on. The nurse was very thorough, she explained the process and the contraception, she talked me through how to administer and also watched me administer the first dose ensuring I was able to and comfortable to do so. She then prescribed me a 12 month course of sayana press to take home. This is much more convenient and takes away the stress of waiting for prescriptions to be ready at the pharmacy etc, and also trying to get into a GP for an appointment.

Hi Julietrr39,

My name is Andrew and I am a Senior Administrator for the Open Clinic and part of my role is to respond to Care Opinion feedback. I would firstly like to thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback which does mean a lot to our team and is an important contribution to learning and service improvement.

I am pleased that the nurse at Stafford clinic was able to advise you on the most suitable form of contraception method to work alongside your migraines and also supervise you on self administering your first dose. 😊

Kind regards,

Andrew Garratt, Senior Administrator
