Pharmacy Contraception Service – Vitality Pharmacy

Convenient Contraceptive Care, Now Available at Our Pharmacy

Managing your contraception should be simple and accessible. At Vitality Pharmacy, we now offer the new NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service. This means you can get expert advice, start a new method, or get a repeat prescription for the pill without needing a GP appointment.

A Modern, Convenient Approach to Contraception

In the past, you would have had to visit your GP or a specialist clinic for these services. Now, our trained pharmacists are here to provide you with convenient, confidential, and professional care directly from your local pharmacy.

What Our Service Provides

• Expert Advice: Unsure where to start? Our pharmacists offer confidential consultations to discuss your options and help you find a method that suits your lifestyle.

• A Range of Options: We provide advice on a range of contraceptive methods, including initiating and supplying both the progesterone-only pill (the “mini-pill”) and the combined oral contraceptive pill.

• Repeat Supplies: If you are already stable on a contraceptive pill, you can use our service for convenient repeat supplies, saving you time and effort.

Why Choose Our Service?

• Convenient: No need to wait for a GP appointment. Simply drop by or book a quick appointment with us.

• Confidential: Your privacy is paramount. All consultations are held in a private room, and your information is kept safe and secure.

• Accessible: The service is available to women in England from when periods start through to 54 years of age.

How the Service Works

Starting or continuing your contraception with us is straightforward:

1. Visit or Book: Simply come into the pharmacy or call to book a time for your consultation.

2. Private Consultation: You will have a confidential discussion with our pharmacist. You’ll complete a short health questionnaire to ensure your safety.

3. Get Your Supply: If appropriate, the pharmacist can supply an initial 3-month supply of pills. Once you are stable, this can be extended to a 12-month supply for your convenience.

If you are coming for a repeat supply, please bring your current or empty pill packet with you to ensure we provide you with the exact same medication.

Your Wellbeing is Our Priority

This is a free, confidential NHS service. We are here to provide you with professional, judgement-free care and support your reproductive health with ease and discretion.
