Contraception In Crisis? Davina To The Rescue?!

This time Nik is joined again by the Red Whale Women's Health team: Dr Lucy Cox and Dr Helen Barnes . They discuss 'Davina McCall's Pill Revolution' which was recently on Channel 4.  Amongst other things, they consider the side effects of hormonal contraception,  and also how it’s important to dig a bit deeper to think about the reason that someone might tell us that certain services aren’t available on the NHS- when they are!… There's also the usual look at the medical news headlines and what's on our radar.Davina McCall's Pill Revolution:https://www.channel4.com/programmes/davina-mccalls-pill-revolutionBrook contraception advice;https://www.brook.org.uk/topics/contraception/RCOG statement on Davina McCall's 'Pill Revolution':https://www.rcog.org.uk/news/rcog-statement-on-davina-mccalls-pill-revolution/FSRH President features in Davina McCall's 'Pill Revolution':https://www.fsrh.org/news/fsrh-president-features-in-davina-mccalls-pill-revolution/FSRH response to new study on use of combined and progestogen-only hormonal contraception and breast cancer risk:https://www.fsrh.org/news/fsrh-response-to-new-study-on-use-of-combined-and-progestogen/FSRH CEU response to published study:Association of Hormonal Contraception with Depression:https://www.fsrh.org/documents/ceu-response-to-published-study-association-of-hormonal/association-of-hc-with-depression.pdf'You don't get to tell me that!'
