FAMILY PLANNING CLINIC

The Family Planning Clinic in Douglas provides contraceptive services to individuals of reproductive age. The service is free and confidential within child protection boundaries.

The clinic provides pregnancy tests, advice on unexpected pregnancies, pre-conceptual advice and cervical screening smears. Limited sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening can be undertaken but, if an STI is suspected, the Genito-Urinary Medicine (GUM) Service at Noble’s Hospital should be contacted on (01624) 650710.

Specialist guidance is provided to assist individuals to make an informed decision on their contraception, taking into account their social, family and medical history, lifestyle and preferences.

Clients do not automatically see a doctor. Family Planning qualified nurses see clients and dispense contraception under Patient Group Directives.
