Yes, she needs to take the morning after pill, and to get it today if possible. If you miss a pill, you need to take extra precuations for the next seven days. The sooner she takes it after the event (anything up to 72 hours but effectiveness decreases the more time elapses). I would also recommend that she does her best to retrieve the condom, I take it she lost it internally? And on a side note, it would be worth her and her partner's time practicing how to put a condom on properly.

her best bet is to ring her GPs' surgery, there might be a voicemail with a number for someone on duty today. I know that's what my surgery does anyway....

This happened to me about 2 months ago. I had to do a very painful extraction of the condom myself. Then had to get morning after pill as well. Luckily i was in England, so just went to chemist to get it.
