Since we don't have family planning clinics in the country I live, I was curious what kind of doctors work in these clinics, in particular the family planning clinics in the UK. Are they GP's, Gynaecologists or perhaps GUM specialists?

I found out that the services they provide are: confidential advice about contraception, the combined oral contraceptive pill, the progestogen-only pill, progestogen injections, limited supplies of free condoms, free emergency contraception, confidential advice about STIs, cervical screening, unplanned pregnancy advice, free pregnancy tests, pre-conception advice and fertility awareness information, and fitting and checking of caps, diaphragms, and coils (intrauterine devices, or IUDs).

It sounds very interesting to me, so that's why I was wondering. If you know anything about it, please let me know. Thanks.

The providers I work with at Planned Parenthood cover several specialities: Family Practice, General Med, and OB/Gyn and also Women's Health NPs, nurse midwives, etc.
