Get the contraceptive pill straight from your local pharmacy

Women in the North East and North Cumbria can now get the contraceptive pill straight from their local pharmacy, without needing a GP appointment. The new service offers women more choice about where and how they access the contraception. All pharmacies offer walk-in appointments, with no need to book in advance, and consultations are carried out in private with a trained pharmacist. Pharmacists can help whether someone is starting the pill for the first time or continuing an existing prescription. A yearly check-up will take place, usually when returning for the next supply. The service is free and confidential for everyone, including those under 16. Personal information will not be shared unless there is a serious concern for safety or wellbeing.
