This service is provided as part of an NHS Advanced Service for community pharmacy. This allows us to provide free oral contraception to UK residents who fall within the eligibility

STEP TWO

Your Appointment

The consultation with our pharmacist is free of charge and will take roughly 15 minutes. We will send you a link to the online consultation to join via your laptop, phone or tablet. You will speak to one of our experienced pharmacy professionals, who will ask about your lifestyle, medical history and preferences and will use their clinical experience to talk you through your options.

STEP THREE

Make your choice

Following your consultation with our experienced pharmacy professional, you will be able to make an informed decision, with support from us, on the right type of contraceptive pill for your body. If, for any reason, we are unable to make a supply, we will provide a same day GP or Sexual Health Clinic referral.

STEP FOUR

Receive your pill by post

Once approved by the pharmacist, our pharmacy team will process your prescription, do the necessary clinical and accuracy checks and then dispatch your pill to your home address with Royal Mail Tracked delivery. Most orders arrive within 1 to 3 working days. The contraceptive pill is free on the NHS.
