Contraception and Sexual Health Services

 

Find out more about the Contraception and Sexual Health Services we offer

Contraception

At Rolle, we provide a wide range of contraceptive services, including pills, implants and other long-acting reversible methods of contraception. Do speak to a member of the team as contraceptive advice is tailored to the individual patient. It may be a nurse or doctor who you are advised to speak to.

Pill checks can often be done by contacting us online.

 

Emergency Contraception

We also provide emergency hormonal contraception (EHC). EHC is also available to buy from many pharmacies.

If you are aged 13 to 24 some pharmacies are able to provide it for free. You can learn more about local sexual health services as well as finding your nearest pharmacist who can provide emergency hormonal contraception by using the Devon Sexual Health Service.

Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Screening

Rolle provides testing and free treatment for STIs, such as Chlamydia. Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STI in the UK, around two thirds of women and half of all men with chlamydia won’t have any obvious symptoms.

If you are aged 25 and under you can register for a free of charge home test through the National Chlamydia Screening Programme.  If you test positive you will need to be seen at the surgery or a sexual health clinic.

If you are over 25 you need to pop into the surgery or a sexual health clinic for testing, the tests are still free of charge.

Termination of Pregnancy

Patients can speak to a doctor confidentially and can be referred onwards to a clinic at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital for a termination of pregnancy. Any patient can also access services without a GP referral by contacting Marie Stopes UK which has a branch in Exeter. The 24 hour advice line is 0345 300 8090. They offer an “at home abortion pill” service or a face to face service, whichever is most appropriate.

Exmouth Sexual Health Clinic

The clinic is still suspended at Exmouth Hospital. Please look at the Devon Sexual Health Website for up to date services on offer
