Contraceptive Implant (Implanon NXT) Training for Doctors

The training combines interactive theoretical learning with simulated hands-on practice using a model arm. 

Participants will:

• Gain an understanding of counselling and assessment prior to implant insertion
• Learn about administration of local anaesthetic, insertion and removal techniques, and management of complications
• Demonstrate practical skills with simulated training on model arms
• Explore management of bleeding changes associated with Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC).

The Contraceptive Implant (Implanon NXT) Training has three options for enrolment: 

Face-to-Face Training – Onsite 2-hour session combining theory and practical simulation training. 

Hybrid Training – Complete an online theory module prior to attending a 1-hour morning onsite practical simulation session.

NB. The online theory module must be completed before the simulation training. Access details for the online theory module will be provided after enrolment
