Online delivery service now available
A service that allows women and girls aged 16 and over to order their contraception online and get it delivered discreetly to their door is now fully operational across Northern Ireland following a successful pilot last year.
The service is funded by Health and Social Care and delivered by SH:24 – a free online sexual health service – and can be used to order the pill, the mini-pill and emergency contraception (‘the morning after pill’). The morning after pill is also available for free from many pharmacies across Northern Ireland.
Dr Rachel Coyle, Consultant at the Public Health Agency (PHA), said: “SH:24 makes it easier for women to manage their sexual health and provides a flexible way to access contraception. A woman can order contraception from home, from work or from wherever is convenient – the service fits into busy, modern lives.
