Emergencies

If you have an urgent sexual health problem, there are a number of options for accessing care.

At axess, we prioritise patients based on clinical need. We will always do our best to see anyone who walks in, but we cannot guarantee same-day appointments. Our team will assess your situation and guide you to the most appropriate support as quickly as possible.

For contraception, you may also have other options, such as:

  • Your GP: many offer LARC as well as oral contraception. Contact your GP directly to find out or, if you are from Liverpool, click here to find out more about LARC options
  • A local pharmacy: many offer the contraceptive pill. Click here to check availability.

If your need is urgent, please call us on 0300 323 1300 to:

  • Check for available appointments
  • See if walk-in attendance is possible.

Please note that waiting times vary and being seen cannot always be guaranteed.

Many appointments can also be booked online. Use the “Book Now” button below to find the next available slot.

You can also get emergency contraception (the morning-after pill) from local pharmacies. Click here to find one close to you.
