Accessing contraception has traditionally required booking a GP appointment, waiting for availability, and then collecting a prescription. There are some fantastic GP and nurse-led teams around the country I have had the pleasure of working with, ensuring girls and women have access to contraception whenever they decide to use it, if at all.
However, with no insult to some surgeries that you may be registered with, sometimes the process can be tedious. We all get it, there are times the surgery is overwhelmed with appointments, staff sickness and other reasons. But thanks to the Pharmacy Contraception Service, you can now get up to a full year’s supply of birth control pills directly from a pharmacist, without the need to see a doctor.
That's where we come in! This service is available for both new users and those needing a repeat prescription, making it easier than ever to manage your contraception. Our pharmacist partners can offer a safe and confidential consultation, discuss different pill options based on your health needs, and provide guidance on switching methods if necessary. The best thing about this is these short consultations can be done at your convenience, from wherever you are! Our partners are trained to assess your medical history and provide you answers to any of your questions.
The process is simple: after a short assessment, a pharmacist can prescribe and dispense your contraception on the same day. This not only saves time but also helps ensure continued access to birth control without unnecessary delays.
If you’re looking for a free, convenient, hassle-free way to access contraception, our pharmacy-led prescribing could be the solution. Find out how you can get started today by messaging us on WhatsApp!
