Have you ever thought about what would happen if your contraception failed, or you forgot to use any at all?

help72 is a service from NHS Rotherham which offers free Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) to all women aged 13 and over in Rotherham.

The service aims to help women who are concerned about unplanned pregnancy by providing the correct treatment, advice and support.

Since the 15th December 2008 help72 has been available from accredited pharmacists as well as your Family Doctor/ GP, Contraceptive and Sexual Health Clinics (all women) and Youth Clinics (Under 25s).

Don't Forget: EHC is for occasional use only. It should not be relied upon as a regular method of contraception.
