Every GP clinic should have at least one doctor who can insert an IUD or have a clear referral pathway, says Professor Deborah Bateson.
Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) remain an uncommon choice for Australian women, despite higher efficacy than condoms and the pill. Perceptions of painful insertions, outdated information and a lack of training are slowing adoption, but modern LARCs have a lot to offer.
Increasingly IUDs are being seen as a suitable, effective contraceptive option for a broader range of women. And, increasingly, women will be looking to their GP to have all the answers to questions about these devices, be it prior to insertion or once the device is in situ.
Professor Deborah Bateson and Dr Terri Foran, two experts in the field, will discuss common (and not-so-common) GP questions in a upcoming webcast on 27 September. Click here to register for this free webcast.
