I would never go back to the Camberwell health clinic, long waiting times, you get a consultation and then book in again for further appointments and another few hours wait. Mine was extremely painful and ended up having a scan in kings due to the new coil thread missing. Luckily it was still in situ but when they take it out in a few years I will probably need sedation. Gp would have been much better I would say in hindsight

Mirena IUS and Paraguard IUD (copper coil) are similar sizes. Jaydess is the smaller IUS recently available, which may be easier to fit for some women.


Many GPs won't fit a coil because it's a specialist procedure, and a "blind" procedure, so their experience and competence needs to be extra high as a gyne practitioner for coils. If your GP doesn't have a gyne background, then they're not likely to do this procedure.


I know it's not the area you're looking for, but I use the Waldron sex health clinic in New Cross, and they have been excellent. If you go for a walk-in, expect a long wait. Or, you can book an appointment. xx

You can go to the drop in at King's Sexual Health clinic (which does involve queuing in the street!), but best place I've found - by a country mile - is the Margaret Pyke centre at Kings Cross. It's bloody miles away, and makes for a sore bus ride home, but they are fab and you can make an appointment.
i had exactly this problem a couple of years ago. You can't make an appointment at Camberwell so have to queue to get an appointment and then come back. Nightmare. I don't understand how the family planning service works in Southwark.

    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
    • Crikey, £4 plus does seem excessive for one card, let alone twelve at that price! Did he explain why he wanted to spend so much? There could be many reasons. Did the recipients also send expensive cards? If so, rather than putting them in the recycling bin, you could just cut the handwritten bit off and send them to a different relative the following Christmas!
