St. Mary Pharmacy
NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service
How does the service work?
Our pharmacy team will begin by asking you a few initial questions, after which you’ll have a private consultation with a pharmacist in a designated consultation room. During this meeting, the pharmacist will ask relevant health-related questions to determine the best way to assist you. You may also have your blood pressure checked and your BMI measured by a member of the team. Our pharmacists will provide advice and, when appropriate, supply you with oral contraception.
If a pharmacist is not available at the time of your visit, the team can arrange an appointment for you to return at a time that suits you.
