Introduction
This half day live-online, instructor led course is suitable for Practice Nurses and AHPs who already have a good understanding of contraception and sexual health care and are regularly managing these requests in practice. It is aimed to update your current knowledge and extend your confidence in managing problems with different contraceptive methods. We assume you have a basic level of knowledge in contraception and sexual health to the level covered in modules 2 and 3 of the e-learning for Healthcare - Sexual and Reproductive Health. (You will need to click 'View' at the top right to view the modules). To get the most out of this update we would recommend looking at module 4 (emergency contraception) and Module 5 (Contraception: complications/side-effects) prior to the course. If you haven’t already used e-learning for healthcare you can register for free access here.
Aims
Through a mix of lectures and case discussion, the course aims to advise you about any updated practices and provide help and support in managing problems with contraception and more complex cases.
Objectives
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Have confidence in assessing patients who require contraception or who wish to switch methods.
- Manage problems which may arise during the repeat issuing of Combined Hormonal Contraception, Progesterone Only Pills and Progesterone Only Injectables.
- Understand when emergency contraception might be required and the best option to offer.
- Manage problems which may arise for patients using coils and Implants.
Handouts on some topics are provided to support the lecture content but the slides will not be made available to you.
