The organisation in the UK which regulates drugs and treatments, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is to hold a seminar in London as part of a campaign to improve women's health.

The emergency contraceptive pill can already be bought from the chemist but any other changes regarding prescription-only drugs would still need pharmaceutical companies to ask for a change in their licences.
