How It Works — Three Steps, That's It
Book a Free Consultation — Pick a time that works for you. We're open 5 days a week. Just pop in a few details and we'll send you a confirmation email. We might ask for your blood pressure, height and weight depending on your pill.
We'll Call You — One of our pharmacists will give you a ring and ask a few simple questions to make sure everything's right for you. It's relaxed, private and usually done in under 10 minutes. Supply is subject to eligibility.
Receive Your Contraception — Your contraception arrives in unmarked packaging so no one knows what's inside. Dispatched by Orford Pharmacy and delivered tracked by Royal Mail. Usually takes 1 to 3 days.
Is This For Me?
Choose the option that describes you:
New to the pill — First time user. No worries, our clinician will give you a call and go through the options.
Restarting — Been a while. Our clinician will have a quick chat to get you started again. They can restart you on the same pill or switch you to something better suited.
Switching pill — Want to try something new. We'll help you find what works best for you.
Already on it — Need a refill. We can get your next pack sorted after our clinician confirms a few things on a call.
This only takes 2 minutes to book.
Why Choose Contraception Direct? Hassle Free and Completely Safe.
Free NHS contraception posted to your door. No GP appointment, no pharmacy visit, no cost.
Free
100% funded by the NHS. There's no catch. Your contraceptive pill is fully funded through the NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service. No card details, no checkout, no hidden costs. It's the same medication your GP would prescribe, delivered to your door at zero cost to you.
Easy
Skip the GP. Skip the wait. Getting contraception shouldn't mean weeks of waiting for an appointment. With us, there's no need to see a GP. You'll have a short phone consultation with a qualified pharmacist at a time that works for you. That's it.
Fast
Delivered in 1 to 3 working days. Once your pharmacist approves your supply, we dispatch it the same day by Royal Mail tracked delivery. Most orders arrive within 1 to 3 working days. No pharmacy queues, no time off work.
Discreet
Unmarked packaging. Complete privacy. Your pill arrives in plain, unbranded packaging with no logos or pharmacy name visible. Whether you live with family, housemates, or a partner, your order stays completely private.
Safe
Clinically reviewed every time. Every supply is personally reviewed by a GPhC registered pharmacist. They check your medical history, current medications, and suitability before anything is sent. For some types of pill, we'll also need your blood pressure, height, and weight. We operate from a regulated NHS community pharmacy.
Friendly
Supportive, judgement free care. Whether it's your first time taking the pill or you have questions about switching, our team is here to help. No rushing, no judgement. Just a relaxed, professional conversation about what's right for you.
How Can It Be Free?
The NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service was launched to make contraception easier to access, without needing a GP appointment. Contraception Direct is provided by Orford Pharmacy under this service, so your consultation and contraception are completely free on the NHS and we post it out to you at no cost.
