Contraception helps stop you from getting pregnant.

Condoms can also protect you from Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).

Our clinics offer many types of contraception, including pills, injections, emergency contraception (also known as the morning after pill) and condoms.

We know that different types of contraception suit different people. Our team will help you find what works best for you. 

If you have medical conditions that limit your choices, you can see a specialist.
