NHS Contraception Service

What is the NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service?

Accessing contraception has never been easier. Whether you’re starting on the pill for the first time, need a repeat prescription, or just have questions about your options, the NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service at Paydens offers a convenient solution. Instead of booking an appointment with your GP or visiting a sexual health clinic, you can now visit any Paydens Pharmacy and consult directly with our trained pharmacists.

This free NHS-funded service allows you to obtain your contraception—whether it's a combined oral contraceptive pill or a progesterone-only pill—right from your local pharmacy, providing you with a more accessible and flexible option for your healthcare needs.

Who Can Use This Service?

The service is suitable for individuals from the onset of their periods up to age 49 for combined oral contraception and up to age 54 for the progesterone-only pill.

How Does It Work?

When you arrive at a participating Paydens Pharmacy, you'll be asked to complete a short health questionnaire. Following this, you'll have a private consultation with one of our pharmacists who will discuss your medical history, check your blood pressure, and measure your BMI if necessary. Based on this information, they’ll provide expert advice and supply you with the most appropriate contraceptive method.

Why Choose Paydens Pharmacy for Contraception?

  • Convenient Access: No need to visit your GP or book an appointment. Simply walk into a Paydens Pharmacy at a time that suits you.
  • Confidential Service: Your consultation will be conducted in a private room, ensuring your personal information remains confidential.
  • Flexible Supply: Initially, you might receive a 3-month supply, which can be extended to a 12-month supply once your treatment plan is established.

How to Get Started

To access the NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service at Paydens, simply visit one of our pharmacies. No referral from a GP is needed. While walk-ins are welcome, if a pharmacist is unavailable, our team will book you in for a consultation at a time that’s convenient for you.
