Group 2- Alix Stokes, Sonam Kotecha, YanYee Chow, Simon Anim-Somuah, Ribal Ahmed, Shang Voong, Calvin Pang, Wong Kar Mun Pharmacists play an important role in providing Emergency Hormonal Contraception service. A pharmacist should provide impartial advice and support to someone who requests for emergency contraception while ensuring confidentiality. Patients should be aware that these pills, Ella One and Levonelle should only be used for emergencies, however, they do not provide protection against Sexually Transmitted Disease (STDs). Pharmacists can also provide guidance on how to screen for STDs and if necessary, they should refer the patients to other healthcare professionals. Emergency contraception should not be provided to patients under 16 years old unless they are Fraser Competent.
