This is an updated guideline from the FSRH on POPs. There is little new, but I have summarised the bits I found interesting.
Women can be given 12m worth at the initial visit.
There is no need to use more than one pill, regardless of the patient’s weight.
"The NASGP and the GP locum chambers that I'm in have provided invaluable assistance both before and through Covid-19 to me as a full-time GP locum. All aspects of locum work have been made easier as a result of membership and the chamber's support structure - from accessing work, to ensuring invoicing and documentation is all sorted, and access to other locums as peer support. Having a chamber manager means I feel more secure and can devote more of my energy on my clinical work."
