NHS Contraception Service in BASILDON

About this service at Whitmore Pharmacy - Basildon

The NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service is a national NHS-commissioned initiative designed to provide women with rapid, convenient, and confidential access to oral hormonal contraception directly from their community pharmacy without needing a doctor's appointment or prescription fee. Under this service, an accredited pharmacist can both initiate new patients on oral contraception and provide ongoing repeat supplies of either the combined oral contraceptive pill (containing estrogen and progestogen) or the progestogen-only pill (POP or 'mini-pill'). During the private consultation, the pharmacist conducts a medical eligibility check based on the UK Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use (UKMEC), measures your blood pressure and BMI (for combined pill users), discusses pill choices, and reviews drug interactions, missed pill rules, and non-contraceptive benefits.
