The FSRH (The Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare) guidance on contraceptive choices / emergency contraception for transgender and non-binary people and their partners.

The Local Authorities in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire want to ensure that local sexual health services, advice and guidance on emergency contraception / contraception and the BNSSG C Card scheme are inclusive for transgender and non-binary people. The FSRH CEU Statement: Contraceptive Choices and Sexual Health for Transgender and Non-Binary People (October 2017) – Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare provides guidance for transgender and non-binary people and their partners, who are engaging in vaginal sex where there is a risk of pregnancy. The statement also offers general sexual health advice for these groups. It is important for pharmacists to be familiar with the guidance as it provides helpful information to support relevant consultations / advice and guidance.
