You can talk to your community pharmacist about your contraception needs and work together to decide on the best option for you. Depending on your personal circumstances, the pharmacist may be able to prescribe a hormonal contraceptive (either for the first time or for something new). Sometimes, the pharmacist will have to provide a referral to a medical practitioner like a GP for further care. Your pharmacist will also tell your regular GP about your discussion and any medicines prescribed, if you agree.
While all community pharmacists can offer advice on your choices around hormonal contraception, not all community pharmacists have completed the additional training required to provide services, which may include prescribing medication.

It is a good idea to make an appointment to ensure that a trained community pharmacist will be available to talk to you about your hormonal contraception needs at a time and day that is suitable for you.
