Update information 2019 In March 2019 NICE revised the decision on how to implement the recommendations of the October 2017 review. Although no new evidence was identified, NICE noted significant changes in how to commission and provide contraceptive services in England. NICE have removed the recommendations in the short version of the guideline that no longer fit with current practice, and have deleted or redacted the content related to those removed recommendations in this guideline. There are also many new LARC products now available.
