In addition to contraception, Dr. Briggs supports patients with preconception planning, offering advice on optimising health before pregnancy, including nutritional guidance, genetic counselling, and management of chronic conditions. For those planning pregnancy or experiencing difficulties, she provides fertility assessments and referrals to specialists if needed. Dr. Briggs is dedicated to ensuring that her patients have the knowledge and resources to make informed choices about their reproductive health and family planning.
Dr Briggs has undergone specific training to prescribe MTOP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) Medication. MTOP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) is a safe, non-surgical method to end an early pregnancy using two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, up to nine weeks. The process involves taking these medications to stop the pregnancy and then induce a miscarriage. Most women experience cramping and bleeding, similar to a heavy period. Follow-up care is essential to ensure the procedure is complete.
