💊 Did you know? You may be able to get contraception directly from your local pharmacy.

The NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service allows you to access advice and certain types of contraception directly from a pharmacist – without needing to see a GP first.

Through participating pharmacies, you may be able to:
• Start the contraceptive pill
• Continue your regular oral contraception
• Access emergency contraception (the morning after pill)

The service is free on the NHS, and consultations take place privately with a trained pharmacist.

This service helps make contraception more accessible and convenient, and may also reduce the need for a GP appointment for routine contraceptive care.

You can find out more here:
🔗https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/pharmacies/find-a-pharmacy-offering-contraceptive-pill-without-prescription/

If you have questions about contraception options that are not pill-based, please speak to your GP or local sexual health clinic.

"The NHS is ready to deliver this vital vaccination programme with appointments available at a number of community pharmacies from the end of July ahead of students starting university.
Those eligible will be contacted directly through the NHS App, by text and email and for those under 25 starting university for the first time they will be able to book their appointment directly with available pharmacies.

Meningitis can be life-threatening and we urge everyone eligible to book appointments for their MenB vaccines soon as bookings open in mid-July and to get both doses to ensure maximum protection".
