This course is only suitable for Registered Clinicians or those working towards registration with a clinical body such as the NMC/HCPC etc. It is appropriate for trainee Nurse Associates and other clinicians who will be on a register for their clinical practice. Clinical information during this session is discussed at a high level and will then enable clinicians to work towards undertaking contraceptive checks and higher clinical practice.
Intro to Contraception is a whole day's course for new Practice Nurses/Assistant Practitioners/Physicians associate who are new to Contraception and would like to have an overview of all of the methods of contraception to help patients decide what's best for them and the checks are required in general practice.
