This service is for anyone needing contraception support. It doesn't matter if it's your first time, you're continuing a prescription, or it's an emergency.
The pharmacist will ask about a few things. They'll ask about your last period, current medications, health conditions, and any allergies. This helps them confirm which contraceptive option is safe and suitable for you.
Based on your answers, the pharmacist will recommend the right pill or method. They use the NHS contraception guide. This ensures that every patient receives the right, evidence-based care.
If you need emergency contraception, you’ll get it right away during your NHS pharmacy visit. The whole appointment usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
