Emergency contraception



Emergency contraception can be used if a contraceptive method fails (for instance a condom splits or a pill is forgotten or taken late) or no contraception is used. Emergency contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). There are two forms of emergency contraception;

  1. Emergency hormonal contraception (the morning after pill).
  2. Emergency intrauterine device (IUD).

Emergency contraception is available free from:

  • GPs
  • Contraceptive/Sexual Health Clinics
  • NHS walk-in centres
  • Sexual health services/GUM clinics
  • Some Accident and Emergency Departments

You can find a list of pharmacies providing emergency contraception for free on Public Health Dorset's website
