💙 Think about LARC – Long Acting Reversible Contraception 💙

Looking for a reliable, hassle-free form of contraception that fits your lifestyle?
LARC methods — including the implant and intrauterine devices (IUD/IUS) — offer long-term protection without the need to remember a daily pill.

✨ Benefits of LARC:
✅ Highly effective and reversible
✅ Safe and convenient
✅ Suitable for most women
✅ Lasts from 3 to 10 years (depending on the method)

Whether you’re planning ahead or just want peace of mind, LARC gives you control — so your contraception fits your life, not the other way around.

📲 Speak to your GP or nurse today to learn more about LARC options and how to book an appointment.
All consultations are free, reliable, and confidential.
