We offer women over the age of 18 years the option to complete contraceptive pill reviews remotely. This saves you having to make a face to face clinician appointment. You will still need to visit the surgery to measure your blood pressure and weight, but you can do this at any time we’re open without an appointment. Please note the service only applies to pill reviews, not new pill starts. Please download the form, complete and return to the reception desk at any of our sites. While at the surgery please measure you blood pressure in our POD and book a telephone follow up

If we are not open, e.g. on weekends, contact 111 to find the nearest service that can prescribe. Do not wait until the surgery is open.
Pharmacies supply emergency contraception too. Often free of charge with no wait for an appointment. To find your nearest, text ‘pharmacy emergency contraception [and your post code]’ to 80011. |
