It is important to take a comprehensive medical and drug history to ensure that the chosen method is safe for the individual at both initiation and review consultations. A review consultation is a good opportunity to discuss other – often more effective – methods of contraception. Remote contraceptive consultations are suitable for many patients, as long as the same high standards of care are provided as they would be in a face-to-face consultation. Nurses offering contraceptive services should ensure they keep up to date with the latest clinical guidance. Contraceptive consultations are a key part of providing safe and effective contraceptive care.
