Sub-dermal contraceptive implants

From 1 January 2025, GP practices will be able to order sub dermal contraceptive implants (Nexplanon) directly from the supplier and claim back the cost. The Statement of Financial Entitlements (SFE) will be published on 1 October 2024 including this change. This will mean that patients do not have to go to the pharmacy to pick up the implant themselves and then make a further GP appointment to get it fitted. Community pharmacists should consider running down their stocks of sub-dermal implants in response to this change.
