There are a plethora of choices when it comes to oral contraception, and knowing which option is best for which patient can be tricky. Plus, as in so many areas of medicine, what happens in the real world isn’t always covered in the textbooks.

Featuring leading women’s health expert, Dr Terri Foran and a discussion panel of leading experts – Prof Deborah Bateson, Prof Rod Baber and Dr Lina Safro – this masterclass covers a wide range of information on the OCP.
