You can get oral contraception and emergency contraception directly from participating pharmacies, without needing a prescription or GP appointment. This makes accessing contraception quicker and more convenient, helping you stay in control of your s*xual health. Trained pharmacy teams can offer confidential advice and support to help you choose the right option for you. πŸ’ŠπŸ©Ί

Emergency contraception can stop you getting pregnant after unprotected s*x (s*x without contraception or when contraception might have failed). If you need emergency contraception after having unprotected s*x, speak to your local pharmacist as soon as you can. You need to use emergency contraception within 3 to 5 days of having unprotected s*x. ✨

We have received some fantastic feedback from a colleague who has recently undertook some training with the team.
I had an excellent experience at the joint injection clinic with PK at Askern Medical Practice. I gained exposure to a variety of joints, different approaches, and injection techniques, which has significantly improved my skills and confidence in performing joint injections.
PK is extremely warm, welcoming, and an excellent teacher. His clear guidance and supportive approach made the learning experience both effective and enjoyable. The supporting staff were also outstandingβ€”well organised, friendly, and very supportive throughout the clinic. Overall, this was a highly positive learning experience, and I would strongly recommend this clinic for joint injection training.
