Following ongoing funding cuts to both Sexual and Reproductive Health Services and primary care, current access to long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) has reached crisis point – an issue that was exposed in the recent Channel 4 documentary, Davina McCall’s Pill Revolution.

The Primary Care Women’s Health Forum has long been concerned about the viability of LARC in primary care and the wider implications on women’s health. As women become better informed about the options available to them, this webinar will open up an invaluable discussion about how to support and manage the care of the women you see in your practice and increase your local access to LARC provision.

Our expert speakers will answer your questions and arm you with the knowledge you need to implement practical steps to meet increasing demand.

TRACEY ELLIOTT

ANP/lead nurse

Tracey worked for over 20 years in acute medicine and critical care before coming to the realisation that 14 hour shifts and nights were not the best option for her work life balance, so ventured into primary care and has never looked back. Having had very little women’s health experience she soon found her niche and has developed a passion for sexual health, completing the diploma with FSRH and gaining competencies in both implant and coil fitting. Tracey strongly believes that nurses in primary care can develop skills and are best placed to address the sexual health needs of women. Now that she works in daylight hours she tries to support colleagues in women’s health matters where possible.
