Start or continue the contraceptive pill or mini-pill — free, confidential, and without an appointment. Just walk in and speak to our pharmacist. No GP visit, no sexual health clinic, no waiting list.
You don't need an appointment for this service. Visit us during opening hours and our pharmacist will see you for a private, confidential consultation. It usually takes just a few minutes.
Through the NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service, our pharmacist can supply oral contraception directly — whether you're starting for the first time or need to continue a pill you're already on.
The pharmacist will discuss which option is most suitable for you and can also signpost you to other contraception (such as coils, implants or emergency contraception) if that's a better fit.
For your safety, the pharmacist carries out a short assessment during your consultation, which may include:
Come to the pharmacy any time during opening hours — no appointment required.
Chat confidentially with our pharmacist, who'll do a quick health check to find the right pill for you.
If suitable, you'll get your contraception the same day, free on the NHS — and you can come back for more.
No need to wait days for a GP or clinic appointment — see us today, on your schedule.
Every consultation takes place privately in our dedicated consultation room.
There's nothing to pay for the consultation or your contraceptive supply.
That's right — this is a walk-in service. Simply come in during our opening hours and ask to speak to the pharmacist about the contraception service. You're welcome to call ahead on 01282 423526 if you'd like to check the pharmacist is available.

Absolutely. We have a private consultation room so you can talk openly and confidentially with our pharmacist.
The pharmacist will talk through your options and, if another method (such as a coil or implant) would suit you better, will signpost you to the right service. We can also help with emergency contraception if you need it urgently.
