SDI: Insertion and Removal course for Nurses
This session introduces the requirements for the safe insertion and removal of subdermal implants (SDIs), shows how an implant is inserted and removed, and demonstrates the techniques step by step.
For consistency we have adopted the FSRH Clinical Effectiveness Unit's (CEU) guidance. This guidance may differ from the manufacturer's summary of product characteristics and patient information leaflet.

- Identify the SDI insertion and removal site and the required equipment for the procedure (including emergency equipment)
