Free Contraception

Our doctors now offer free consultations for contraception to eligible ladies aged 17 to 35 years old. Two free consultations per year are covered and are available to our private patients as well as those patients with GMS/DVC medical cards.

Appointments can be booked online here.

You will need to give your PPS number, name, date of birth and address at your appointment and the name of your pharmacy. We need this to make sure that you are in the 17 to 35 age group covered by the free contraception service.

The costs covered include:

– Two GP appointments per year – to talk about contraception options and for 6 monthly contraception prescriptions.
– Your choice of contraception – from the types covered below:

• fittings and removals of implants and IUDs or IUSs (coils)
• any check-ups or other follow up care needed, relating to your implant or coil
• emergency contraception (morning after pill)
