Emergency Hormonal Contraception at community pharmacies

You can use emergency hormonal contraception (EHC) if you have had sex without using contraception, or if your method of contraception has failed, in the last five days (120 hours). Emergency contraception, such as the morning after pill, can reduce the chance of becoming pregnant, but the sooner it is taken the more effective it will be.

EHC can be accessed free of charge from:

• Selected pharmacies in Salford, provided by an accredited pharmacist (see the list below)
• The Northern Sexual Health
• GP practices (contacting your registered GP)

If you have had unprotected sex or if the condom failed, it is important to also consider the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and to consider long-acting contraception.

You can call any of the pharmacies listed on this website to check if they can supply EHC on the day, when needed. Alternatively, you may have to pay a fee for the morning after pill if either:

• the accredited pharmacist is not available for a consultation, or
• your pharmacy of choice is not included in the list

If a pharmacy is unable to provide the morning after pill for free, you should be signposted by pharmacy staff to another pharmacy that can.

Termination of pregnancy services

If you’re pregnant and do not want to continue with the pregnancy, you can contact a sexual health clinic and ask for a referral to a termination of pregnancy service.

You can also contact a termination of pregnancy service directly, or speak to a GP who can refer you for an appointment
