The service is provided FREE through the NHS for eligible patients.
Our NHS Contraception Services
Emergency Contraception
If you have had unprotected sex or your usual contraception has failed, accessing emergency contraception promptly can help prevent an unintended pregnancy.
Emergency contraception may be needed following:
- Unprotected sexual intercourse
- A condom breaking or coming off
- Missed contraceptive pills
- Problems with your usual contraception
- Other situations where contraception may not have provided adequate protection
Our pharmacist will provide a private and confidential consultation, assess your circumstances and determine whether emergency oral contraception is suitable for you.
Where clinically appropriate, emergency contraception can be supplied FREE through the NHS.
As emergency contraception is generally more effective the sooner it is used, we recommend contacting or visiting MEDSCLINIC as soon as possible.
If another form of emergency contraception, such as a Copper IUD, may be more appropriate, we can advise you about accessing the appropriate healthcare service.
Regular Contraception – Oral Contraceptive Pills
MEDSCLINIC also provides access to regular oral contraception through the NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service.
Depending on your individual circumstances and eligibility, our pharmacy team may be able to help you start or continue your contraceptive pill without requiring a routine GP appointment.
The service covers appropriate:
- Combined Oral Contraceptive Pills
- Progestogen-Only Pills
Your pharmacist will complete an appropriate consultation, which may include discussing your medical history, current contraception, other medicines and relevant health information.
Where necessary, clinical measurements such as blood pressure may also be taken before contraception is supplied.
If the pharmacy service is not appropriate for your individual needs, we will explain this and advise you about the most appropriate healthcare service to contact.
