All GP and nursing staff can provide patients with contraception advice via appointment. We have staff trained to both insert and remove contraceptive implants (Please note that as of mid 2026, the maximum length of time an implant can remain in place has been extended to 5yrs).
If you require advice or counselling regarding an unwanted pregnancy, please make an appointment a.s.a.p. or with the NHS Lothian Sexual Health Clinic on 0131-536-1070.
The following websites provide useful information on contraception and general sexual health:
