- Provide information, advice and guidance about sexually transmitted infections (STIs), assess the need for STI screening, and refer patients to relevant services, where appropriate.
- Provide written information to the patient during counselling, reinforcing it after fitting. This should include details about symptoms requiring urgent assessment, non-contraceptive benefits, and procedures for initiation and discontinuation.
