NHS Advanced Service

Pharmacy Contraception Service

Convenient, confidential access to contraception — including starting the pill for the first time, ongoing repeat supply, and free emergency contraception — without needing a GP appointment.

Accessible. Confidential. Free. No GP needed Walk-in or self-refer

Starting the Contraceptive Pill

Begin using the pill for the first time, restart after a break, or switch to a different pill where clinically suitable. All assessed and supplied by our trained pharmacists.

Repeat Oral Contraception

Already on the pill? We provide ongoing monitoring and supply without requiring a GP visit every time, helping you maintain consistent, reliable contraception.

Free Emergency Contraception

Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) is available free of charge. Quick access when it matters most — no local variation, consistent service across England.

Who Is This Service For?

Anyone needing to start or continue oral contraception, or needing emergency contraception. You may self-refer, be referred by your GP, NHS 111, or sexual health clinic. Not registered with a GP? You can still access this service freely.
