Accessing oral contraception is now quicker, easier, and more convenient than ever.
Thanks to the NHS Community Pharmacy Oral Contraception service, you can now get the contraceptive pill for free, directly from your local pharmacy, without needing a prescription or an appointment with your GP. Whether you're starting contraception for the first time or need a repeat supply, your local pharmacist is here to help.
The service is delivered by trained pharmacists in a private consultation room. Everything you discuss is confidential, and your pharmacist will talk through your options and check your health to make sure the pill is right for you.
