What is the NHS Contraception Service?

The NHS Contraception Service is a partnership between the NHS and community pharmacies, making it easier for you to access oral contraception. Whether you're starting contraception for the first time, resuming after a break, or simply need a repeat supply, our team is here to help.
 

Our trained pharmacists offer personalised advice in a private consultation room. They’ll ask a few simple questions to ensure the option is right for you, answer any concerns, and provide the support you need — all in a confidential, non-judgemental environment.

  • Everyday Pill – includes hormone-free pills

  • 21-Day Pill – take for 21 days, then pause for 7 days

2. Progestogen-Only Pill (POP):

Also known as ‘the mini pill’, the POP contains progestogen and is taken at the same time daily. It’s over 99% effective and comes in packs of 28 with no break between packs.
