Contraceptive Services

Private and confidential service

Many of our pharmacies are able to offer FREE Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) or the ‘Morning-After Pill’, to women aged 16 years and above. Teenagers below this age may be offered the pill at the discretion of the pharmacist.

This is a strictly private and confidential service which is carried out by trained and accredited pharmacists. They will take you through a short questionnaire which assesses your suitability for the pill. The key thing here is that you present for the service within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse.

Eligible patients will be given the Emergency Hormonal Contraceptive (EHC) free of charge on the NHS. Check out this service from one of our pharmacies listed below.
