Emergency Contraception Service

Emergency Contraception Service at Boots, Lakeside

Emergency Contraception is not as effective as other forms of contraception such as the pill or condoms used appropriately and does not protect you against STIs.

If you are worried, speak to your GP or family planning clinic about how to arrange counselling/advice as necessary. Emergency Contraception is also available from your pharmacist, without prescription.

Boots Emergency Contraception Service is available at Boots, Lakeside. Emergency contraception (sometimes described as the 'morning after pill') can be effective up to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. Our specially trained pharmacists can deliver the service discreetly in a private consultation room, providing you with all the advice you will need. 

Anyone can make a mistake with contraception, and no matter how careful you are, things can still go wrong. If you think you need emergency contraception, it’s important to act quickly.

If you want more information on emergency contraception available to you at Boots, Lakeside - you can either visit the store on Level 1 & 2 or phone 01708 869871 at any time during Centre Opening Hours*. 

*For any queries out of this time bracket, or in case of escalated emergency please always contact your GP or family planning clinic in the first instance.
