Contraception
Our NHS contraception service offers confidential support for both regular and emergency contraception. Receive fast, discreet care, expert advice, and appropriate treatment through a private consultation at no cost.
What Is Contraception?
Contraception provides confidential support to help prevent pregnancy, whether you need ongoing protection or urgent care after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Services are available free through the NHS at your local pharmacy.
Our pharmacists can talk you through both regular and emergency contraception options, offer clear, professional advice, and help you choose the most suitable treatment. There is no need to see a GP, making it a quick, discreet, and accessible way to get the support you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get the morning after pill?
Yes. If you’re eligible under the NHS scheme, the morning after pill is supplied free of charge during your consultation. There’s no need for a prescription or GP appointment.
Can I start regular contraception through this service?
Often, yes. Pharmacists can provide short-term contraception and, if needed, refer you to the appropriate service for longer-term options.
Is the consultation private?
Absolutely. All consultations take place in a private room with a trained pharmacist, and everything you discuss is handled with complete confidentiality.
What if I’m unsure whether I need emergency contraception?
If you’re not certain, speak to the pharmacist as soon as possible. They’ll assess your situation, explain your options, and advise whether emergency contraception is appropriate — and which type would be most effective.
