“This is tremendous news and something we’ve long been calling for." Read the full quote from FSRH President, Dr Janet Barter, here.

We warmly welcomes the Government announcement that emergency contraception (EC) will be made available free of charge from community pharmacies in England from now on. This is a vital step in removing cost and access barriers that have long prevented many women from obtaining the care they need.

Important to consider that if a guideline is not followed you may be able to use a defence that there are a reasonable number of clinicians that would have made the same decision. #HIVMasterclass2025 @bashhuk.bsky.social @fsrh.org @bhiva.bsky.social
