We aim to serve everyone equally and we work hard to eliminate any disadvantages faced in respect to gender, age, ethnicity, disability, sexuality or any health inequalities. Carers/interpreters/chaperones are welcome to attend the consultation at the request of the client. The trust is happy to provide this service, although prior notification may be required. Intrauterine methods include the copper bearing intrauterine device (IUD) and the Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (IUS). The IUD and the IUS provide long term reversible contraception. The IUS is also licensed for treatment of idiopathic menorrhagia and for protection from endometrial hyperplasia during oestrogen replacement therapy. 3.
