Did you know that we offer a wide range of contraceptive services including coils, Mirena and Implanon as well as the contraceptive pill, patches and injection (Depot Provera).

The long acting reversible methods, (coils, Mirena and Implanon), can be very convenient and are extremely effective, lasting for three or more years but are quickly reversible.

For more information, contact the surgery.

Nottingham City C-Card Scheme

We also operate the C-Card scheme, which means, that once you have registered for the scheme, we are able to provide free condoms together with other registered sites across the city. For additional information click here.

A C-Card is a plastic card that lets you get free condoms from a number of pick-ups points across the city.

To get a C-Card you must be aged 13 to 25 years and all we need is your date of birth, and your postcode. This information is confidential and will be used for research purposes only. Just drop in and ask for a C-Card where you see the 'C-Card' sign.

Use the C-Card to get free condoms from any registration and pick-up points across the city.

How do I know where the C-Card points are?

You can call Sexwise which is a free confidential helpline offering sexual health advice aimed at 12 to 18 year olds. Call SEXWISE on 0800 28 29 30, Monday to Saturday, 7pm to 12 midnight. (This is a freephone number, if called from a landline it will not show up on a phone bill.) An up-to-date list of c-card points can be picked up from any C-Card point and SEXWISE. Or visit the C-Card site here

Why do I need to use condoms?

Condoms should be used for vaginal, anal and oral sex to protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Genital Warts, Genital Herpes, and HIV amongst others, and to prevent unintended pregnancies. STIs are much more common than you may think and often there are no symptoms.
