We fit and remove coils and implants at Brockwell Park Surgery. This service is only available to patients registered at the practice.
Coil removals:
In most cases, this is a very simple procedure which can be done by a nurse. However, if you also need to discuss your contraception options, please book a doctor’s appointment. Both appointments can be booked via reception on 020 8678 5400 or contact us.
WARNING: sperm can live for up to 7 days, so please make sure there is no unprotected intercourse for 7 days before a coil removal or a coil exchange, or else there may be a risk of pregnancy.
All other coil and implant procedures
Please contact us and let us know that you are enquiring about a coil or implant procedure. You will be sent a questionnaire by email or text message to obtain further information. The questionnaire link will expire after 7 days. You will then be contacted by the practice regarding the next steps.
Coil insertions in breastfeeding women:
Fitting a contraceptive coil in the first 6 months after delivery in a breastfeeding woman is associated with a significantly higher risk of perforating the womb. As a result, we encourage breastfeeding women to use alternative contraception in the 6 months after delivery.
Devices offered at Brockwell Park Surgery:
We fit the Mirena coil (52mg progesterone) and the smaller Kyleena coil (19.5mg progesterone).
We only fit the Nova T380 device. This is licensed for 5 years in patients under 40, and for as long as needed if fitted after your 40th birthday.
We fit the nexplanon device.
Local clinics offering coils and implants:
Local clinics also offer appointments for long acting reversible contraceptives. They will usually schedule an initial telephone appointment and then book you in for the procedure.
