Over 300,000 women access morning-after pill via new scheme

More than 300,000 doses of the morning-after pill have been dispensed at high-street pharmacies in the first five months of an NHS scheme to improve access.

The scheme means woman can obtain the pill without needing to book a GP appointment or pay a visit to a sexual health clinic.

Pharmacy teams can also offer advice on longer-term contraception if women need it
