About

In this engaging course, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of intrauterine devices (IUDs) and intrauterine systems (IUSs), focusing on their essential role in safe, effective contraceptive care.

Attendees will build the skills and confidence needed to conduct IUD/IUS checks and removals safely and effectively, alongside learning patient counselling techniques that support informed decision-making.

With an emphasis on preparing patients for intrauterine contraceptive (IUC) fitting, this course aims to enhance practical efficiency and deepen knowledge of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). Join us to expand your expertise in women’s health and contraceptive services through practical, hands-on learning.

Learning outcomes:

  • Revise the methods of IUC available
  • Understand the indications for fitting and removal of IUC
  • Feel confident in both checking and removing IUC and giving appropriate follow-up advice
  • Understand the importance of a good referral pathway for IUD problems
  • Allows discussion of relevant practice problems and their solutions

Experienced healthcare professionals specialising in contraception and sexual health will lead this training, providing you with the latest, most relevant insights. The session includes interactive discussions, case studies, and valuable opportunities for networking and knowledge sharing.
