About the Programme
Welcome to the Women's Health Programme. We provide training in reproductive and sexual health for GPs and practice nurses. This includes clinical updates for GPs, theory and practical courses for the Certificate in Contraception, and the Masterclass in Contraception for Tutors.
We have recently launched a training and certification programme in Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC).
We regularly update the useful links and hot topics sections on this website which are of use to GPs in clinical practice.
