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.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
