Coil and Implant Service

Specialist Contraceptive Services at Northgate Medical Centre

At Northgate Medical Centre, we offer expert fitting of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), including:

Hormonal Coil (IUS) – e.g. Mirena, Kyleena
Non Hormonal Coil (IUD) – e.g. Copper Coil
e.g. Nexplanon

These methods provide highly effective, long-lasting contraception while being reversible, allowing you to plan for the future with confidence.


Why Choose a LARC Method?

  • Highly effective – Over 99% protection against pregnancy
  • Long-lasting – Coils can last 5–10 years, and implants up to 3 years
  • Reversible – Fertility returns quickly after removal
  • Convenient – No need to remember daily pills

Specialist Female GP-led Service

All fittings and removals are carried out by experienced female GPs with specialist training in women’s health and contraception. We provide a confidential and supportive environment to discuss your options and help you choose the best method for your needs.


How to Book an Appointment

If you are interested in having a coil or implant fitted or removed, please book a consultation with one of our specialist GPs. This initial appointment allows us to discuss your options, answer any questions, and ensure the chosen method is suitable for you.

If you are 65+ or have a chronic condition.

Having the flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and others from a nasty virus that kills around 11,000 people every year in England. By having the vaccine you’re also helping protect the NHS from being overwhelmed by a flu epidemic combining with any rise in Covid-19 cases.

For details of who’s entitled to the free vaccine, visit www.nhs.uk and search for “flu”.

Flu Vaccinations are available for all patients who are over 65, who have Chronic Disease, who are pregnant, or who are carers.  This offers a high level of protection from influenza and its complications.

Please attend alone unless you need a carer, wear a mask if you have a chronic disease.

Please do not arrive at the flu clinic if you have any of the following symptoms:

  • new, continuous/repeatedly cough
  • temperature greater than 37.8C
  • a loss of sense of smell / taste
