Get the pill quickly and confidentially at your local pharmacy

Packet of contraceptive pills

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 and 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 there 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.

Find your local pharmacy and ask about oral contraception.
