Sexual health support at your local GP or pharmacy

All GPs and pharmacists will offer you support and advice on sexual health. GPs can give you contraception, chlamydia testing and free condoms. You need to go to your doctor for a prescription for Emergency Hormonal Contraception EHC (Morning after pill) if you are over 25 or attend a Sexual Health clinic to receive it for free.

• Harold Hill Health Centre
• Oxlow Lane Health Centre

Find a pharmacy that offers the contraceptive pill without a prescription

A pharmacist may be able to supply the contraceptive pill if you need to:

• start using the contraceptive pill for the first time
• start the contraceptive pill again after a break from taking it
• get a supply of the contraceptive pill if it’s already been prescribed to you

If the pharmacist gives you the contraceptive pill they will share this information with your GP if you give permission for them to do so.

You can enter your postcode and find a participating pharmacy here.
