Emergency contraception

Your local pharmacy is able to provide confidential access to NHS contraceptive services, without the need for an appointment. The services available include the provision of emergency contraception, bridging contraception and sexual health advice. These services are available free of charge if supply is deemed appropriate following a consultation with an accredited pharmacist.

Bridging contraception allows an accredited pharmacist to offer a three-month supply of a contraceptive pill, to bridge the gap between emergency contraception and accessing a longer-term contraception. This helps to allow patients to research and seek advice on their options and the choices for long-term contraception.

Follow this link to the NHS 111 Wales website where you can find a list of pharmacies that offer this service by selecting 'Provides Emergency Contraception (EC)' in the filter menu.
