Combined Pill

International Students are entitled to receive healthcare from the NHS (National Health Service) if:

Contraceptive Implant

  • The contraceptive implant is a small plastic rod, that is placed under the skin of your arm. It prevents pregnancy by releasing the hormone progestogen. This stops the ovaries releasing an egg each month. The implant works for 3 years before it needs to be replaced and it is over 99% effective as long as it is replaced every 3 years.
  • Dr Singhal provides a contraceptive implant service within our Surgery - please contact our Reception Team on 024 7650 2255 to book an initial telephone appointment to discuss this with Dr Singhal.

Contraceptive Injection

  • The contraceptive injection contains the hormone progestogen. It prevents pregnancy by stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation). The contraceptive injection is not suitable for everyone. It is more than 99% effective if used correctly. If you get your injection late, it's less effective.
  • You can discuss this with our Nurse Practitioner or Advanced Nurse Practitioner during an initial telephone appointment to see if the contraceptive injection is appropriate for you.

Contraceptive Patch

  • The contraceptive patch is a small square patch that is worn on the skin. It prevents pregnancy by releasing the hormones oestrogen and progestogen into the blood. This stops the ovaries releasing an egg each month. You wear the patch for 7 days then replace it with a new one. It is around 99% effective when used correctly and does have better compliance rates than the contraceptive pill.
  • You can discuss this with one of our clinicians by booking a telephone appointment.

What Our Patients Say

Real stories from the Coventry community

I’ve been going to Cheylesmore GP Surgery for a while now and honestly, they’ve been great. The reception team is always polite and helpful, and the doctors really take the time to listen and explain things properly. I’ve never had to wait long for an appointment either, which is a big plus. A special mention to Dr. Jaspal, he’s always kind, thorough, and genuinely caring. It’s nice knowing you’re in good hands.

I’ve had a great experience with Cheylesmore Surgery. Appointments have been easy to book, and I’ve never had to wait long to be seen, which makes such a difference. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the whole process runs smoothly. A special thanks to Dr. Singhal for her professional and caring approach—she made me feel heard and well looked after. Really appreciate the quality of care from the whole team!

My sister and I called in when our older sister was in need of the palliative care team. The receptionist May was extremely supportive and helpful. The practice team reacted swiftly and the palliative nurses came the same day. We can't thank them enough for controlling our sister's pain so that when she passed away it was pain free, peacefully in her own home with her family.

Dr. Khosla was incredibly helpful with my young daughter today. I have had several other fantastic experiences with other doctors as well- Dr Linn, Dr. Singhal and Dr. Adeoti. All very thorough and helpful. I’m always able to book an appointment very quickly as well. I would highly recommend this surgery and feel very grateful to have such caring and helpful GPs.
