Emergency contraception, coronavirus, and confidentiality: a mystery shop of pharmacy access during the pandemic

Emergency contraception, coronavirus, and confidentiality: a mystery shop of pharmacy access during the pandemic This briefing finds that one third of pharmacies are unable to provide emergency contraception in a confidential and Covid-secure way due to current licensing restrictions. It calls for emergency contraception to be reclassified by the Secretary of State for Health as a general sales list medication which would enable women to purchase this safe and effective medication directly from the shelf, without placing their health or confidentiality at risk during the pandemic.
