This service allows you to get contraception from your local pharmacy without having to see a doctor or nurse. The service is available in pharmacies across England and your pharmacy can supply both progesterone-only pills, sometimes called the mini pill, as well as combined pills which use both progesterone and oestrogen.
The service is free of charge and your pharmacist can, where appropriate, supply initially a 3-month supply of pills, but once you are stable this can be extended to 12 months, saving you time and effort accessing the service at your GP.
