• Abstract:

  Background

  Unplanned teenage pregnancy rates in Wales are amongst the highest in Europe. In 2011 the Welsh Government introduced an emergency contraception (EC) service in community pharmacies to help tackle this. This service meant EC medication could be supplied from community pharmacies via a patient group direction, free of charge to the user.
