Starting or Continuing Your Contraception

Whether you are looking to start the contraceptive pill for the first time, are restarting it after a break, or simply need a repeat supply of your current medication, our pharmacists are here to help. We provide consultations for both the combined oral contraceptive pill and the progestogen-only pill (mini-pill).

NHS Contraception

How the Service Works

Confidential Consultation: You will meet with a pharmacist in a private consultation room to discuss your health and ensure the medication is safe for you.

Health Checks: If you are starting or continuing the combined pill, we will perform quick, non-invasive checks of your blood pressure, height, and weight.

No Appointment Needed: You can often walk in for a consultation, or you can call us to find a time that suits you.

Free of Charge: Both the consultation and the medication provided through this NHS service are completely free.

GP Integration: With your consent, we can notify your GP that you have received contraception from us to ensure your medical records are kept up to date.

Emergency Contraception

In addition to regular daily pills, we provide free NHS emergency contraception (the "morning-after pill") to those who need it. Our team provides a sensitive, non-judgmental service to help you manage your reproductive health with confidence.
