📢 Important Update for Nexplanon Users

We would like to inform our patients that the Nexplanon contraceptive implant is now licensed for use for up to 5 years, rather than the previous 3-year licence period.

If you currently have a Nexplanon implant fitted, you may not need a replacement as soon as previously advised.

Our practice will be reviewing records and contacting affected patients individually with further information where appropriate. There is no need to contact the practice unless you have concerns or are experiencing problems with your implant.

For any questions about your contraception, please speak to a member of our clinical team.
