Some pharmacists can prescribe emergency hormonal contraception (EHC). You don't need to go to your GP or clinic to get a prescription; the pharmacist will do this for you.

Important: Sometimes the pharmacist won't be available (e.g. on holiday). It is always best to phone before going to the pharmacy to make sure that the pharmacist will be there.

All of the pharmacies that provide emergency hormonal contraception, free of charge, are listed below. You can also see them on our map of services that can prescribe free EHC
