title: Setting up a nurse-led contraceptive clinic for young parents.
abstract: This article describes the development of a nurse-led contraceptive and sexual health drop-in clinic, which runs alongside an existing young parents' drop-in service provided by a charity called Key to the Door. The clinic provides young parents, whose average age is 16-25, with access to a variety of first-issue contraceptive methods and screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The article explains how the service was developed and provides information from an audit, which shows the clinic's effectiveness and positive outcomes for service users.
