  • Barrier  methods, including male and female condoms

New pilot scheme

We are also delighted to introduce a pilot of access to emergency oral contraception and contraceptive pills free of charge online via SH:24.

SH:24 are award winning experts in sexual and reproductive health and work in partnership with the NHS to provide contraception and STI testing.

To access oral contraceptive pills, including the progestogen only pill (also known as “the mini pill”) or the combined pill, go to: https://sh24.org.uk/contraception/order

To access oral emergency contraception (‘morning after pill’), go to:  https://sh24.org.uk/ec_now_order/age_and_postcode/new

Please note:  Oral emergency contraception is more effective the sooner you take it after unprotected sex.

A copper IUD is the most effective method of emergency contraception.

Alternatively you can contact your local service on 028 37 562 200 during clinic hours.
