Booking an appointment
Coils and Implants:
The surgery can offer appointments for insertion, change and removal of coils and implants during the weekdays. Saturday appointments are also available at the Ireland Wood Hub. If you would like to get a coil or implant, please contact us to let us know. We will add you to our waiting list (which is quite short) and we will then contact you to book in two appointments.
This first appointment is an initial phone call with the Dr, this will be to discuss the procedure and consent, and the chance for you to ask any questions. The second appointment will be a face to face appointment where your LARC is fitted.
Coil Fitters: Dr C. Gibson (f) and Dr D. Ejiofor (f)
Implant Fitters: Dr D. Ejiofor (f)
