Oral Contraception
Start or continue the combined pill or progestogen-only pill following a confidential clinical assessment. Through our NHS Contraception and Pharmacist Independent Prescribing services, we can help you find an appropriate option without normally needing a GP appointment or referral.
Urinary Tract Infection Assessment
Convenient NHS assessment and treatment for urinary tract infections. Depending on your symptoms and eligibility, care may be provided through the Common Ailments Service or our Pharmacist Independent Prescribing Service.
Where clinically appropriate, we can arrange urine sample testing to support diagnosis, treatment choice and follow-up—including for patients whose needs fall outside the standard Common Ailments pathway.
