Quality standard
This quality standard covers contraception for women, including emergency contraception. It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.
It does not cover sexual health and preventing sexually transmitted infections.
It does not cover areas of national policy. However, the Department of Health’s Commissioning sexual health services and interventions: best practice for local authorities should be read alongside this quality standard.
Keeping quality standards up to date
This quality standard is reviewed each year and updated if needed.
Next review: August 2017
