Brief Description

This course in IUD insertion consists of two modules.

Module 1 provides information on IUD types, pre-insertion assessment of patients and management of IUD related problems. This practical workshop is designed to develop competence and skill in IUD insertion techniques on models prior to clinical placement. The workshop comprises small group discussions with case studies and IUD insertion skills training utilising pelvic models.

Module 2 is clinical-based and involves participants inserting IUDs in patients under direct supervision of an experienced IUD insertion doctor. Training is competence-based, recognises the trainee's established skills and concentrates on areas that require further development. Familiarisation with the common types of IUD devices available in Australia is included in this training.

Clinical training may be undertaken at a Family Planning NSW Clinic, or interstate. Training may also be available through one of Family Planning NSW training partnerships with NSW Public Hospitals or Community Women's Health Centres.
