Who can use the contraception service?

If you’re currently taking oral contraception or wanting to get started on the pill, either progesterone only (sometimes called the mini-pill) or the combined pill then our pharmacist should be able to help you. You need to be between your first period (menarche) and 49 years old (or 54 years old for progesterone only) to use this service.

This service is not for the morning after pill or emergency contraception or for those needing other forms of contraception, such as implants or injections.

In your appointment you’ll need to provide your height and weight, and potentially a self measured blood pressure reading. If you’re unsure whether this service is right for you, our team is here to help.

Frequently asked questions

Who can use the NHS pharmacy contraception service?

If you are aged 16 or over and wanting to start your birth control or are currently on oral contraception, you can use this service. You’ll need to provide your blood pressure measurement if you are taking the combined pill.

Can I get emergency contraception?

No, this service is for regular oral contraception only. Emergency contraception (or the morning after pill) can be ordered separately from our pharmacy shop.

Can I use this service for other forms of contraception, such as a coil, implant, or injection?

No. The contraception service is for oral contraceptive pills (combined pill and progesterone only pill) only. You’ll need to speak with your GP if you require another form of contraception, such as devices/coils, implants, patches, rings or injections. You can get condoms from our online shop, which will be discreetly delivered to your door.

Will my medication be the same as before?

Yes. You’ll be given the same type of contraception as you’ve had before. The packaging may be different as the same medicine is produced by a range of brands, but the medicine itself will be the same. You could discuss alternatives with our pharmacist as part of the call should you wish.

Who do I contact if I want to change my current contraception medication?

You can speak to our pharmacist if you want to change your contraception at any time.

What if I need to change my contraception?

You’ll need to speak to a GP or sexual health clinic if you want to switch to a different type of contraception, such as an implant or injection. Our pharmacist can help if you wish to change your pill type.
