Non-urgent advice: contraceptive service at the local pharmacy

The novel online assessment allows women to explore contraception options tailored to their individual health and wellbeing, helping to reduce trial-and-error style approaches and improve satisfaction with their chosen method. Following this, women have a consultation with a community pharmacist, who can supply oral contraception in line with a PGD under the NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service if appropriate. Tuune’s MHRA-registered algorithm uses current research to suggest contraception based on a patient’s symptoms and hormonal profile. The assessment takes about 10 minutes to complete and under 2 minutes to review.
