Does the practice have a bespoke clinic for IUS/D (coil) fitting or are appointments for IUS/D (coil) fits made as part of the routine appointment schedule or both

Practices have bespoke coil clinics with appointments slots that allow enough time for the service activity

 

Is there a waiting time for IUS/IUD (coil) fits at the practice and if so how long (less than 6 weeks, between 6 weeks – 6 months, or longer than 6 months

This information is not captured

 

If a practice does not have its own fitting service, which practice/clinic/hospital do they refer the majority of their patients that require an IUS/D (coil) fit to (type, name, address and postcode) and how many do they refer

This would be subject to patient choice but such practices could refer patients to one of the three practices that accept inter practice referrals (Cedar, Spring Hall and Lawson).  They can also refer or signpost patients to a suitable sexual health clinics, as such the ones provided by Homerton University Hospital

 

 Do they have someone within the practice who provides specialist contraceptive counselling and if so what is their role (doctor, nurse, healthcare assistant, healthcare visitor or other)

 Yes - either a GP, Nurse and/or a Healthcare Assistant - this will vary between practices
