Emergency contraception given via a patient group direction

Article Abstract:

A study of the effectiveness of laws in the United Kingdom that allow nurses to prescribe emergency contraception to patients in certain specially defined groups is presented. The study showed that more women were able to get levonogestrel in time to prevent pregnancy and that trained nurses were also available to talk to them about sexual health and other birth control methods.
