Prescribing guidelines for contraception initiation in primary care have been developed by AWPAG, based on work by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, in order to reduce variation across the Health Boards and increase patient safety. A PowerPoint version of the chart for local adaptation is available on request from AWTTC.

This resource has been retired and is no longer considered an AWMSG-endorsed resource. The resource underwent an assessment for review in February 2025. At that time, members of the All Wales Prescribing Advisory Group (AWPAG) considered it appropriate to retire the resource. The content contained within the resource was considered to be out of date and other suitable alternative guidance was available (e.g. CEU Guidance: Switching or starting methods of contraception(FSRH) and CG30 Long-acting reversible contraception (NICE)), AWPAG members considered it most appropriate for the resource to be retired at this time. If you think this resource should be reconsidered for review, please get in touch with AWTTC by emailing awttc@nhs.wales.uk. |
