CONTRACEPTIVE

SERVICE

The contraceptive service initially involves community pharmacists providing
ongoing management of routine oral contraception that was initiated in general
practice or a sexual health clinic; this is the Tier 1 service.

The supplies will be authorised via a Patient Group Direction (PGD), with
appropriate checks, such as the measurement of the patient’s blood pressure and
body mass index, being undertaken, where necessary.

NHS England has supported Cegedim Healthcare Solutions and PharmOutcomes
to develop their IT systems to support the service, which includes the functionality
of an API (application programming interface) with the NHSBSA’s MYS portal.

All payment claims for the service must be made through the API.
Members seeking to offer the service
and need help can contact our Patient OPPORTUNITY OF
