Complex LARC referral

  • Removal of deep sub-dermal contraceptive implants. Bristol regional deep implant removal centre have requested all deep implant referrals from Somerset be sent to SWISH initially for assessment.
  • Difficult or previously failed IUC fitting
  • Difficult IUC removal and lost threads. For all absent threads an ultrasound scan report within the last 6 months to confirm that IUC is still in situ MUST be included in the referral.

Note:

  • We are unable to accept referrals for IUS insertion for endometrial protection and heavy menstrual bleeding only unless contraception is required.
  • We will no longer be doing recalls for coils and implants as of the 1st April 2023.
