Any of the following offer contraceptive help and advice
A Doctor’s Surgery (GP)
A doctor / practice nurse will be able to offer free and confidential contraceptive help and advice. They will give you a prescription to get free contraception from the chemist. Most doctors should see you, even if you aren't registered with them. This means that you don’t have to see your family doctor for contraception.
