NHS Contraception Service

Thanks to the new NHS Contraception Service, you can now start or renew your oral contraceptive pill prescription without needing to book a GP appointment. Simply speak with one of our trained pharmacists at Layanson Pharmacy for a fast, convenient, and confidential consultation.

How It Works

1. Book Your Appointment

If you’re running low (around four weeks’ supply or less) or want to begin taking oral contraception, you can schedule a one-to-one consultation with our pharmacist.

2. Attend Your Consultation

During a 10 – 15 minute appointment, our pharmacist will assess your suitability for the pill. If eligible, we’ll issue your prescription and dispense your medication straight away.

3. We’ll Notify Your GP

We’ll handle all communication with your GP to keep your records up-to-date—no extra effort required from you.

Why Choose This Service?

• Completely free on the NHS

• No need to visit your GP

• Quick access to oral contraception

•  Tailored treatment plan that suits your lifestyle

• Confidential, convenient, and supportive care

Are There Any Costs?

No. This service is fully funded by the NHS, including both your consultation and your medication. There are no hidden fees or charges.

Am I Eligible?

You are eligible if:

• You’re under 55 and would like to start using oral contraception for the first time.

• You’re between 18 and 49 years old and currently taking the combined pill.

• You’re between 18 and 55 years old and currently taking the progesterone-only pill (POP).
