28 January 2008
Health professionals based in general practice or specialist clinics wanting to attract men into mainstream contraceptive services can now download a free set of guidelines from fpa's website about making them more men-friendly. fpa are focusing on men and contraception as part of this year's Contraceptive Awareness Week. The New Man [1] campaign is running from the 11-17 February.

- Offering a variety of confidential services.
- Making it clear that support and advice, not just tests and treatment are available.
- Providing materials and publicity aimed at men.
The guidelines are part of a free campaign pack distributed by fpa. To order a pack email caw@fpa.org.uk.
