Contraception Service – Beaconsfield Pharmacy
At Beaconsfield Pharmacy, we provide a convenient and confidential NHS Contraception Service to help patients access the oral contraceptive pill without needing to book a GP appointment.
Our trained pharmacists can provide advice, start you on contraception if appropriate, or help you renew your current prescription quickly and safely. The service is designed to make contraception more accessible for patients across Walthamstow, Leyton, and nearby East London areas.
If you are running low on your pill supply or want to start using oral contraception, our pharmacy team can arrange a short telephone consultation and guide you through the next steps.
Contraception Service
Get started on or renew your supply of the oral contraceptive pill
The new NHS contraception service enables you to get started on or renew your supply of the oral contraceptive pill, without needing to see your GP.
Instead, by having a telephone consultation with one of our pharmacists, if approved we can dispense and deliver your medication to the address of your choice – making it quicker and easier to get your contraception.
How it works?
Manage your contraception the easy way with Beaconsfield Pharmacy.
No Need To Book an appointment
Call or pop in to speak with our pharmacist if you have around a week’s supply or less left, or at anytime if you want to get started on contraception.
Have your consultation
Have your 5 -10 minute call, and if everything is OK, we’ll dispense and process your contraception order. Collect immediately or get your contraceptive delivered to your door.
We update your GP
We’ll inform your GP about the outcome of your call and we’ll be in touch.
How much does it cost?
This is a free service in partnership with the NHS. There’s no charge for your consultation or medication, and we cover the cost of delivery – so it’s free for you and doesn’t cost the NHS any extra.

Free Emergency Hormonal Contraception
The emergency contraceptive pill is most effective if taken as soon as possible after you have had unprotected intercourse, but it can be taken up to 120 hours afterwards.
Under this NHS Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) scheme, a pharmacist can assess, advise and if protocol indicates, provide Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) to young women 13-19 years old, free of charge, under a Patient Group Directive.
You can also purchase the Emergency Hormonal Contraception if you are 16 and over from any of our branches. Our pharmacist will advise you in confidence.
For more information you may contact us or speak to our pharmacist at your local branch directly.
