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. 💊🩺

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. ✨

🐧Stay steady in the icy weather!

Please check on vulnerable family, friends and neighbours. If you do need to head out in the cold weather this weekend, here are some tips to help stay steady👇

➡️ Choose proper footwear: Wear sturdy boots or shoes with rubber, non-slip soles.
➡️ Use walking aids wisely: If using a cane or walker, ensure it has non-slip tips. Adding ice-gripper tips helps maintain grip on icy surfaces.
➡️ Adopt the 'penguin walk' technique: Take small, shuffling steps with knees slightly bent, keep hands free, and center your balance to reduce slipping.
➡️ Avoid non-essential outings: If it’s icy or snowing, stay indoors unless it’s urgent - consider home shopping delivery or asking for help.
➡️ Clear and treat walkways: Regularly shovel or sweep snow and ice around your home. Spread grit, sand, or even cat litter to create safe traction.
➡️ Plan your path: Use well-cleared routes with handrails whenever available. Walk on areas like grassy verges rather than unknown icy pavements.
➡️ Dress warm & protective: Wear layers to keep muscles warm and reduce injury risk. Reflective clothing aids visibility in darker, winter light.
➡️ Keep essentials close: Carry a phone when heading outside to call for help if needed.
➡️ Stay active to strengthen balance: Exercises like walking, seated workouts, or balance routines help maintain strength and coordination.
