EMERGENCY HORMONAL CONTRACEPTION (EHC) and NEEDLE EXCHANGE (NEX) PHARMACIES with SHEFFEILD CITY COUNCIL / PUBLIC HEALTH – CHANGE IN PROCESS FOR THE SUPPLY OF CONDOMS AND LUBE:  From 31 October 2017, the Wicker Pharmacy will be the sole supply and distribution hub for condoms and lube ordering.  You no longer order directly through Durbin PLC or submit invoices for claims.  This decision has been made following feedback from pharmacies and a request to make the ordering process easier and quicker.  You can email or fax The Wicker to place an order on the linked order form.  Once an order is placed with the form completed correctly, it will be delivered within 2 working days. This service and delivery is free of charge.  Email pharmacy@wicker.co.uk or Fax(0114)272 6431. Please download the ordering process chart and the ordering form, to fax or email The Wicker Pharmacy to place an order.

• Ordering is per box of condoms/lube, orders can be for more than 1 box.
• The recommended maximum number of condoms per client is 6 and lube sachets 3.
• If you are giving condoms to under 18 year olds we ask that you record this on the NHS Health database.
