Start/switch contraception method

We offer appointments to discuss, then start or switch any method of contraception. It is important to have an idea of your preferred method before attending.

We are unable to supply repeat pills, patches, and vaginal rings for those aged 20 and over who live in York or North Yorkshire. We are only able to supply repeat injectable for North Yorkshire for those aged 20 and over. If you are happy with your current method of contraception, you need to see your GP to obtain further supplies.

Some pharmacies offers the contraceptive pill without prescription. Visit Find a pharmacy that offers the contraceptive pill without a prescription - NHS for more information.
