NHS Contraception Service
Our specially trained clinical pharmacist can provide advice and supply your oral contraception without the need to see your GP.
What is the NHS Contraception Service?
Our pharmacists can help you with regular supplies of your oral contraception, as well as help with starting contraception for the first time, or after you have had a break from contraception. The NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service is free of charge and is available from Rutland Late Night Pharmacy.
How does the service work?
Our pharmacy team will ask you some initial questions and afterwards, you’ll have a consultation with the pharmacist. They will ask you relevant health-related questions to work out the best way to help you, and you may have your blood pressure checked and your BMI measured by a member of our team. Our pharmacists will offer advice and, where appropriate, make a supply of oral contraception.
We offer a private consultation room for discreet discussions about your health concerns. We can also provide online video consultations if you are unable to come to us.

The NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service is a free of charge service available at Rutland Late Night Pharmacy. Simply call us, or call in and ask for a consultation with one of our pharmacists.
