Increasing the accessibility of long-acting reversible contraceptives through nurse-led insertions: A cost-benefit analysis
The research looked at the cost savings of using long-acting contraceptives compared to the contraceptive pill, and the costs of nurses providing long acting contraceptives in addition to GPs. It was found that enabling registered nurse-led LARC insertion is a cost-effective way of increasing accessibility to these contraceptive methods.
