Emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if a contraceptive method has failed.

The Service will: * enable EHC to be made available in rural and urban pharmacies with coverage across all areas of Staffordshire * provide one to one advice and provision of an appropriate form of oral EHC if and as required * Where appropriate, to refer or signpost patients into mainstream contraceptive services and to ensure that pathways for post-coital Intra Uterine Device (IUD) fitting for emergency contraception are known to patients who request EHC. * increase the availability of free condoms to young people within pharmacy settings by supporting the condom distribution scheme (facilitated by core sexual health services) * direct patients for whom EHC is not the right solution, or who need advice on ongoing contraception into mainstream contraceptive services and appropriate healthcare services. * refer patients who may have been at risk of STIs to an appropriate service * strengthen the local network of contraceptive and sexual health services to help ensure easy and swift access to advice The Agreement period will run from 1st April 2020 - 31st March 2022 with the option to extend by 2 x 12 months from 1st April 2022 - 31st March 2023 and 1st April 2023 - 31st March 2024
