Pharmacy Contraception Service

The provision of oral contraceptives via the Pharmacy Contraception Service continues to grow. Some hints and tips for delivering the service:

• Any break in taking/ using contraception whether one month or five years means the pharmacy should provide the service as an initiation consultation.
• Make sure to ask 'has there been any change to your medical history since you were last prescribed this’
• If a patient has any history of getting migraines – always use a POP

Use the quick initiation guide to help select the right choice for the patient:
