In this scenario, a community pharmacist counsels a patient who has missed a dose of her progestogen-only pill (POP) and has had unprotected sexual intercourse (UPSI). The student must take a history, determine whether emergency contraception is required, identify the most appropriate option, and advise on next steps.

Please ensure that this scenario and mark scheme align with the most up-to-date guidelines from the UK NICE and the BNF when using it for your OSCE assessment.

You will need a student pharmacist and an actor for this OSCE station.
