Emergency Contraceptive Pill (EHC)

Overview

Our Emergency Contraception Service is designed to offer fast, confidential, and compassionate support for anyone who needs urgent access to the Emergency Contraceptive Pill (also known as the morning-after pill).

For many people, needing emergency contraception can be a stressful and a time-sensitive situation.

Unexpected contraceptive failure, missed pills, or unprotected intercourse can leave individuals feeling anxious and unsure where to turn.

The pharmacy’s trained healthcare team can now provide emergency contraception directly - no doctor’s appointment required.

Consultations are confidential, supportive, and available on a walk-in basis at any of their pharmacies.

A clear plan for you:

The new service is simple and straightforward:
(for eligible patients under NHS guidelines).

1. Visit any Badham Pharmacy branch.
2. Request an emergency contraception consultation.
3. Speak privately with a pharmacist who will assess suitability.
4. If appropriate, receive the emergency contraceptive pill on site - often free.

The pharmacist also provides follow-up advice, including how to continue or start regular contraception and when to seek further medical care if needed.

We encourage anyone who might need emergency contraception to act promptly - time matters. The sooner the medication is taken, the more effective it is.

This service is available across all our branches.

With this service, we hope to reduce the stress and uncertainty many people experience when faced with an emergency contraceptive need. Quick, compassionate access can make a significant difference in both physical and emotional wellbeing.
