What the service includes
Our sexual health services are designed to make it easier to get the information, protection and care you need.
Contraception
Confidential advice on regular contraception, whether you are starting for the first time or thinking about changing method.
Emergency contraception
Emergency hormonal contraception, often called the morning-after pill, provided with care and discretion when you need it.
STI testing kits
Easy-to-use kits that let you check your sexual health privately, with advice on next steps if you need further support.
Free condoms
Free condoms through the locally commissioned Umbrella service, along with advice on using them correctly.
Support you can rely on
Good sexual health covers everything from preventing and treating sexually transmitted infections to choosing contraception that suits you. Regular check-ups, honest conversations and reliable information all play a part.
Choosing contraception
There are many contraceptive methods, and the right one depends on your needs and preferences. Our team can talk you through the options, explain how to use your chosen method properly so it works as well as possible, and help if you are thinking about switching. Our pharmacist will check which options are suitable for you.
If you need emergency contraception
Needing emergency contraception can feel stressful. We handle every request with sensitivity and respect. We can also talk about regular contraception so you are less likely to need emergency contraception again, and, where suitable, provide advance emergency contraception to keep at home.
Testing and treatment
Finding and treating an STI early helps prevent complications and stops infections spreading. Our testing kits are a private, convenient way to check, and if you need treatment or specialist care we will explain what happens next.

Sexual health questions
Is the sexual health service confidential?
Yes. Our pharmacy team is trained to provide non-judgemental, confidential care, and consultations take place in a private setting so you can talk openly.
What is Umbrella?
Umbrella is the sexual health service commissioned locally in Birmingham. Through our partnership with Umbrella, we can offer free and confidential services such as condoms and STI testing kits, so cost is not a barrier to looking after your sexual health.
How soon should I take emergency contraception?
Emergency hormonal contraception is most effective when it is taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex or a contraception failure. Speak to our pharmacy team straight away and we will help you quickly and discreetly.
Which infections do the STI testing kits check for?
The kits available through Umbrella allow testing for a range of sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV.
What happens if my test result is positive?
Our pharmacists will advise you on the next steps. This may include treatment, such as chlamydia treatment through the available sexual health service, or referral to a specialist service if needed.
