You can now get your contraceptive pills for free from your local pharmacy, without needing a check at the GP practice! There is no need for an appointment at the GP practice. The Pharmacy Contraception Service allows pharmacists to provide both the Combined Contraception Pill and the Progestogen-only Pill (mini-pill). Your contraceptive pills will be free, just as if they had been prescribed by the practice. The following local pharmacies are already offering this service:

• Allied Pharmacy Earlham West. Call ahead to arrange an appointment on 01603 451318

If you are already taking a contraceptive pill, or you know that you definitely want to start a pill, use one of these forms:

• Combined Contraceptive Pill form
• Progestogen-only Contraceptive Pill (Mini-pill) form

For general advice on contraception, use our Get help for any health problem form to contact a nurse, please give as much detail as possible. The nurse will review your request and get back to you by online message or phone call. The nurse will arrange a face-to-face appointment if this is needed.
