Speakers:TRACEY ELLIOTT ANP/lead nurse, County DurhamTracey 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.DR CAROLINE COOPER Sexual and Reproductive Health, CambridgeCaroline trained in general practice, and currently works in a community clinic in Cambridge, providing integrated contraception and sexual health services and a complex IUC and implant referral service.

She is the director for Bayer Pharma’s intrauterine contraception training programme which offers training in IUC fitting to GPs and nurses across the UK. Caroline is committed to providing high quality education for health care professionals, and to empowering women through providing choice in sexual and reproductive health.
