Course Description

Overview

Understand the range and use of emergency contraception

Emergency contraception can be confusing, with different types available and public understanding sometimes limited. On this course you will master the basics of emergency contraception: learning about the different types of post-coital contraception, exploring clinical guideliness; and working out which type of contraception is appropriate in different situations.

The course is for professionals involved in providing contraception as part of their wider role but who have not received formal education in sexual health. The course will also suit people considering a career change who are looking to learn more about sexual health.
