This is a statement from the FSRH advising that Sayana Press is now licensed for self-injection.
This is likely to be really popular with some women and to reduce the likelihood of missed or late injections.
Patients need training on how to use it and need to have their first self administration observed. They will need a sharp’s bin too. They can then be sent home with 3 jabs – i.e enough for a year.
"Without the support of LocumDeck, I would have struggled to get it all organised. Ali and her team were extremely supportive and patient with me; they explained how to use it, made it flexible for my needs and allayed all fears regarding various invoicing issues. The ongoing support is also fantastic with educational webinars, NASGP Locum Chambers meetings and a quick response to any queries. I would recommend it to anyone starting out as a GP locum. It takes away the administrative stress and allows you to focus on clinical work."
