Private care — 08/09

Emergency contraception.

Confidential consultation and supply, without an appointment.

Emergency contraception is available from the pharmacy without a prescription, following a short private consultation. It’s handled discreetly, in a private room, by a pharmacist — no appointment, no judgement.

Our Dock Road branch handles this seven days a week.

How it works

01

Ask at the counter

Just ask for a private word — no appointment, no prescription, no judgement.

02

A short private consultation

A few questions with the pharmacist, behind a closed door — never over the counter.

03

Sorted there and then

Supply follows the consultation, handled discreetly. The sooner you come in, the better it works.

Good to know

  • No appointment and no prescription needed — just ask at the counter for a private word.

  • Handled in a private consultation room at Dock Road, seven days a week.

  • The sooner the better — it becomes less reliable the longer you wait.

Questions — emergency contraception

Straight answers.

Entirely. It happens in a private consultation room and nothing is discussed at the counter.

Seven days a week — 9am to 7pm on weekdays, 9am to 6pm on Saturdays, and 10am to 6pm on Sundays and bank holidays.

A handful of questions about your health and your cycle — purely to make sure it’s the right option and dosage for you. Then you can be on your way.
