Brilliant service! Completely saved me when my GP decided they wouldn’t prescribe my medication anymore just before I went away. Thankfully after one short phone call confirming my details I got sent... See more

Contraception Direct is a professional and reliable online NHS-funded service offering free, convenient access to contraceptive pills. We specialize in providing repeat prescriptions and initiating new users on oral contraception, ensuring a seamless process for individuals in England. With no cost for consultations, medication, or delivery, the service is accessible and designed to meet your needs. This is an online-only service, meaning you can access consultations and prescriptions from the comfort of your home. Our team of qualified clinicians operates under a Patient Group Direction (PGD), allowing us to safely assess and prescribe contraception without requiring a GP prescription. During the consultation, our clinicians evaluate your medical history, and in some cases, an up-to-date blood pressure reading may be required. Calls are scheduled within your chosen one-hour slot for flexibility and convenience. Once approved, your medication is discreetly delivered to your address within 24–48 hours in discreet packaging. We are based at Orford Pharmacy, a UK-registered pharmacy, and adhere to NHS and General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) guidelines.

So easy and the consultation phone call was lovely and great at giving me information
Thank you
Thank you, I’m so satisfied. Maya advised me very professionally, provided all the information and I received my pills quickly.
I had such a lovely lady called Katie
I had such a lovely lady called Katie, she was super supportive and really listened to me and helped put me back on the right contraceptive. Will be using this service from now on honestly can’t recommend them enough.
Helpful and efficient
I had a great experience with contraception direct. It was easy, quick and delivered straight to me
very helpful staff
So easy to use
Really great service
Really great service. Booked a call an hour or 2 before the slot, call was on time and I received a text reminder, and the call was really simple to do. Took about 5 minutes total.
Received my pills on Wednesday after the call on Monday.
The only thing I’d warn about is that while discreet, the packaging does list a pharmacy as the return address on the label - so please be aware if you need to hide what the package is from someone.
That’s something I’d really love for Contraception Direct to find a way to change.

The person on the phone was very polite and direct in the options I had. The contraceptive pills arrived quickly and securely. Definitely recommend :)
Great service
The lady I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and helpful. Asked if I had any questions. I received my contraception in 3 days. Posted to my home. Much better than rushing to boots before 5pm.
Finally fantastic service for contraception!
(I am in the UK) Let me say this is Amazing! Reordered the birth control I have been on for years - without needing to wait or coordinate with my GP. Quick phone call and very helpful. Arrived by post within a few days, highly recommend! Finally technology has come together to help women stay on top of these important things :)

I’ve been using them for around 8 months with two deliveries and it’s been perfect and so easily
Most pleasant phone call ever!!
The lovley lady on the phone put my mind at ease and gave me all the information necessary and was so nice
Amazing Experience
I had a lovely experience, would highly recommend! I used to put of getting another box as going to see the doctor and then waiting for the pharmacy to have it in took so long.. But with contraception direct, I filled in a form one night, and the next morning I had my 5 minute phone call. The lady I spoke to was extremely helpful and understanding, within three days a 6 month prescription was at my door! Will absolutely use again and recommend to anyone else who’s had the same struggles.
Definitely worth doing
Really simple process. Getting reminders for the appointments means I never forget to book a pill check and the contraceptives are always sent out with 1/2 days so I never run out. So much easier than booking through my GP and going to the pharmacy
