Contraception

Contraception is dealt with in the consultation room, not at the counter. Emergency contraception is most effective the sooner it is taken, so come in as early as you can.

About this service

Time matters

Emergency contraception works better the earlier it is taken. Come in as soon as you can rather than waiting.

Private by default

The conversation happens in a closed room and stays between you and the pharmacist.

Ongoing options

The pharmacist can talk through longer-term options and where to get them.

How it works

01

Ask for the pharmacist

You do not have to explain anything at the counter. Asking is enough.

02

Talk in the consultation room

The pharmacist asks what happened and when, and checks your medical history.

03

Leave with what you need

Treatment is supplied the same visit where it is appropriate, with advice on what to expect.

Questions about this service

Is it free?
Emergency contraception is supplied free under the NHS service in this area. Ask at the counter if you are unsure whether you qualify.
Will anyone be told?
The consultation is confidential. Records are kept as required for the NHS service, not shared beyond that.
How quickly should I come in?
As soon as possible. Some methods work up to 72 hours after sex, others up to 120 hours, but effectiveness drops with time.
