The Online Surgery helps women take charge of their fertility - World Contraception Day, 26thSeptember
World Contraception Day, held annually on 26thSeptember, encourages women to take charge of their own fertility and people of both genders to be more aware of the birth control options open to them.
World Contraception Dayis an opportunity to educate young people and spread awareness of what kinds of contraception they can use and how to obtain them, as well as busting some of the harmful myths that are in circulation on the subject.
In the UK, we can celebrate the fact that we now have our lowest teenage pregnancy rate since record-keeping began in 1960*. This is, of course, good news. However, women of all ages need proper access to contraception if they are to have full and reliable control over their own fertility.
Dr Helen Webberley ofThe Online Surgerysays: "Contraception is a very important issue for the modern woman, and easy access to safe and reliable methods is paramount. I am anxious about the long waits for GP appointments and the difficulties faced by women who work far away from where their surgery is. Long-acting, reversible methods of contraception are becoming more popular which is excellent, and low-cost, easy yet safe, private options such as The Online Surgery are a welcome adjunct to NHS services."
To obtain either contraceptive or morning after pills, you will need to make a GP appointment. Atthis appointment, you will discuss your needs and health with either a GP or practice nurse, and will discuss your contraceptive options.
Some women, however, may have problems accessing a GP surgery in order to get this process started. Younger people may struggle to find the opportunity to attend discretely, while adults may struggle to find the time to visit their GP due to other commitments and responsibilities. This is whereThe Online Surgerycan help.
Through The Online Surgery, you can make a virtual appointment with a fully-qualified GP at a sensible time, and attend from your own home using the internet. Prescriptions can be sent to your chosen destination via your preferred postal method. This makes it much easier for women who are pushed for time to obtain reliable contraception, properly prescribed by a medical professional. In today's world it is proving to be an obvious solution for many women.
