Family Planning

Contrary to common belief, family planning services don’t revolve solely around planning to have children. Your GP at Bodyvie is here to help you to make the right choices for your lifestyle, whether you’re looking for birth control, or to extend your family now, or one day in the future.

Both men and women can benefit from family planning services and discussing with a professional, either alone or together with a partner, can be hugely beneficial in helping you decide how you would like your future to look.

Our GPs are experienced, compassionate and supportive people who have your wellbeing at heart. Seek advice for the following health concerns at Bodyvie, in a supportive environment that’s free of judgement:

Emergency Contraception

If you’ve had unprotected intercourse, or your contraception has failed, we can provide you with emergency contraception and address any worries or anxieties you might be harbouring. We can also discuss how to help you to avoid the need for emergency contraception in the future.
