Contraception

As part of an overall review of ICGP education and to continue our ongoing commitment, ICGP has updated contraception education for GPs and GP Trainees. The updated education will address the latest evidence base to ensure that patient care for contraception consultations is based on the most up-to-date clinical guidelines.

ICGP Contraception Theory Course

ICGP has developed a blended approach to the ICGP Theory Course in Contraception. GPs and GP Trainees will be able to access two eLearning modules as part of this course, which is accessible at your own convenience.

  • Module 1 Contraception Theory contains the core content which GPs and GP Trainees require to safely prescribe contraception
  • Module 2 Reproductive Health Theory provides additional information on common presentations in general practice that may arise when prescribing contraception
