You can buy Emergency Hormonal Contraception (or the Emergency Pill) from participating Pharmacies if you are over 16, at a cost of around £24. The Pharmacist will ask you a few questions about when you had unprotected sex, and may ask for proof of age. The pharmacist may offer to speak to you in a small, private space if they have one.
You can buy a Pregnancy Test at a Pharmacy, even if you are under 16. Some Pharmacists provide a confidential pregnancy testing service, which they will charge for. The pharmacist must keep all information provided by the patient and the result of the test confidential and only disclose information with the consent of the patient.
Any young person can buy condoms at a pharmacy, even if you are under 16.
Below are listed the 'Late Opening' pharmacies across Kirklees, some of which are open until midnight, so there is should always be somewhere relatively nearby where you can get the Emergency Pill from. And remember, the sooner you get it, the more effective it is !
