Contraception, EHC and Symptom Assessment
Our pharmacy offers confidential female health services covering contraception, emergency hormonal contraception (EHC), management of period pain, and assessment and treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV). Consultations are delivered by qualified pharmacists who provide private, non-judgemental advice tailored to your needs. We can supply or advise on combined and progestogen-only pills, offer pill checks, discuss long-acting options and provide EHC when appropriate. For period pain we recommend suitable analgesics and self-care strategies, and for suspected BV we can assess symptoms and supply treatments or refer onward. Appointments are available without delay in many cases.
How We Help
Our pharmacists understand the sensitive nature of female reproductive health and provide discreet, evidence-based care. During a private consultation we will review your medical history, current medications, and any risk factors to recommend the safest contraception or treatment. Emergency contraception is time-sensitive, so early contact is important; we explain options, eligibility, and side effects clearly. For bacterial vaginosis we discuss symptoms, testing needs, and offer appropriate treatment or referral. We also advise on managing period pain, including medication choices and lifestyle adjustments. If further investigation is needed we can signpost to sexual health clinics or GPs.

Conditions We Can Treat and Why Treatment Helps
Confidential and Private Drop-In or Pre-Booked Appointments.
Our private female health service provides fast, confidential access to treatment for a range of common women’s health conditions.
This is a private, non‑NHS service delivered by trained pharmacists. During a short clinical consultation, we assess your symptoms, medical history, and any red‑flag indicators to ensure treatment is safe, appropriate, and fully compliant with PGD criteria.
Where suitable, we can supply effective prescription‑only medicines to help you manage symptoms quickly and comfortably, without needing a GP appointment.
Postnatal Contraception
Postnatal contraception helps prevent pregnancy after childbirth while allowing time for recovery and family planning. Desogestrel tablets and Depo‑Provera injections offer reliable, hormone‑based protection suitable for breastfeeding and non‑breastfeeding women. Treatment is supplied only when PGD criteria are met.
Period Delay
Period delay medication can temporarily postpone menstruation for events such as holidays, travel, or special occasions.
It works by maintaining stable hormone levels to prevent bleeding until you choose to stop the course. This service is useful for women who need short‑term control over their cycle.
Period Pain
Severe period pain can affect daily life and may not respond to standard pain relief. Prescription‑strength anti‑inflammatory medicines help reduce cramping, pelvic discomfort, and inflammation. Treatment is supplied only when symptoms fit PGD criteria and no red flags are present.
Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial vaginosis is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance of natural bacteria. Symptoms may include discharge and odour.
Treatment helps restore healthy vaginal flora and clear the infection quickly. Both oral and topical options are available depending on suitability.
Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception can help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.
Our pharmacist will carry out a clinical assessment to ensure treatment is safe, appropriate, and supplied within strict clinical criteria. We can supply emergency contraception quickly and confidentially, along with clear advice on ongoing contraception and when further medical support may be needed.
UTI Consultation
Our private UTI consultation provides fast access to treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infections. The pharmacist will carry out a structured clinical assessment to confirm your symptoms meet the criteria for safe supply. This includes reviewing your medical history, checking for red‑flag symptoms, assessing the severity and duration of discomfort, and ensuring the infection is suitable for treatment.
If appropriate, we can supply effective prescription‑only medication to help relieve symptoms and clear the infection quickly. This is a private, non‑NHS service designed to offer quick, confidential support when you need it.
Charges apply for any medication provided for the services listed above - the consultation if Free.
Key Points
Accessible female health support is available from our team of trained pharmacists. We aim to reduce barriers by offering same-day advice where possible, clear information about contraceptive choices, and timely access to emergency contraception. We provide symptom checks for bacterial vaginosis, recommend appropriate treatments, and advise when GP referral is needed. For menstrual pain we suggest both pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures and outline when further medical assessment should be sought. All consultations are confidential and conducted in a private consultation room to ensure comfort and discretion for every patient.
How to access our services: drop-in or book an appointment by phone for a private consultation. For emergency contraception, attend as soon as possible — levonorgestrel or ulipristal may be supplied depending on timing and clinical suitability. Contraceptive pill consultations include review, supply, and advice on side effects; some methods may require GP referral.
