If you have had unprotected sex and require emergency contraception, please contact a member of our team ASAP on 0300 373 0709.

We offer all methods of emergency contraception, but the copper coil (IUD) is the most effective option – more than 99.9% effective at preventing pregnancy in this situation.

It can sometimes be fitted several days after the episode of unprotected sex and is offered at all of our clinics. If the copper coil is the most suitable method for you or your chosen option, you will be assessed to check that the timing is appropriate prior to your appointment for insertion.

We provide the hormonal emergency contraceptive pill in all of our clinics, but you can also access this, usually free of charge, from many pharmacies if this is more convenient for you.

The link below will take you to a list of pharmacies who provide emergency contraception, along with their address and contact number so that you can call before you attend to ensure that there will be a pharmacist present who is able to issue this:
