Improving health services and care for women across Wokingham Borough is a key focus in our workplan for this year. We're pleased to highlight a new service that supports this goal.
The LARC (Long Acting Reversible Contraception (such as coils and implants)) service is now more accessible to women in the borough. You can still book this service through your GP but a new Mid Hampshire service also offers additional access, giving women more choice where they are seen and making it easier to get LARC locally.
The service is:
Available to women under 55 years old
Available to patients of all gender identities
Self-referral; no need to book the service via your GP
Offering free at-home STI testing kits
Free of charge
The service is available at:
Brookside Group Practice
Finchampstead Surgery
Loddon Vale Practice
New Wokingham Road Surgery
Parkside Family Practice
Swallowfield Medical Practice
Twyford Surgery
Wargrave Practice
Woodley Surgery
Woosehill Medical Centre
