Contraception and LARC Tutor

Contraception Tutors provide training in contraception for candidates who wish to apply for the Certificate in Contraception. The Contraception Tutor must assess the candidate and sign the relevant logbook certifying that the candidate has completed the necessary training. 

GP Trainees who wish to complete the practical component of the Certificate of Contraception during their GP Registrar years can do so in their training practice by completing a logbook under the supervision of a contraception tutor. We encourage GP Trainers or doctors working in training practices to become Contraception tutors.

Contraception tutors Update

Contraception tutors need to renew their tutor status every 5 years by completing the Contraception tutor course.

Kindly contact womenshealth@icgp.ie to confirm with us if your Contraception Tutor status is active in the Irish College of GPs database. 

Only Irish College of GPs registered LARC Tutors are eligible to partake.

This is a Funded pilot to provide IUD training to doctors currently working outside of your own practice. This aims to increase the number of LARC IUD providers in areas of need. Each tutor can take on 2 external trainees at a time and train them in IUD.
