"Coil removal success"

About: Sexual Health / Contraception Service

(as a service user),

Had a great experience with the contraception clinic in Portadown. Doctor was very nice and helped me to relax before having my coil removed, which has given me a lot of problems since having it fitted elsewhere. 

Getting the appointment was relatively quick compared to other services in this trust. I would go there as a first port of call for contraception advice in future.

Dear melontb48,

Thank you for posting such a good experience on Care Opinion about having your coil removed by our Doctor in Contraception Service. I was sorry to hear you had difficulties with this elsewhere.

We aim to provide an excellent service to all women and know that having an intimate procedure like this can cause some anxiety. Therefore, we take time to help women relax to make the process a bit easier.

It is great your needs were met at this time and that you would use our service in future.

Your feedback may help other women considering coil removal.

I will pass this onto the Contraception Service team who will be glad to hear this nice feedback. They work very hard to help reduce waiting lists for women seeking contraception in the community.

We welcome any suggestions women have to make our service better.

Kind regards,

Kate Gribben. Lead Nurse CASH ( Contraception & Sexual Health), IMWH, SHSCT, NI.
