Women now offered free contraceptive pills in pharmacies
|
Women can now get a first prescription of the pill and repeat orders without having to see a GP, in a move that makes access to free contraception even more convenient.
Pharmacies across the country are now offering the new service, increasing choice for women in the ways in which they can access contraception.
Anyone needing the pill can access it through participating pharmacies without a referral from their GP, though they can be referred by their general practice or sexual health clinic.
