Contraceptive pill & patch review form

This form is for patients aged 16-49 years who are currently using the contraceptive pill or patch for their regular contraception (ie not emergency contraception/morning after pill), are happy with their current contraception and want to continue with it.

You’ll need a recent blood pressure reading and your weight to complete this form – you can use a BP home monitoring machine, and scales you have at home. A BP monitor is also available in our main waiting room for patients who aren’t able to get a BP home monitoring machine, along with weighing scales.

A nurse will review your form and – if safe to do so – will re-prescribe your contraception. We’ll send you a text to let you know. Your prescription will then be available for collection at your nominated pharmacy within 2-3 working days if we have one on file for you, or from Reception.

You’ll then need to complete this review form every time you’d like us to re-prescribe your contraception (usually every 12 months). You should make sure you have at least 2 weeks supply of contraception left when you complete the form, to make sure you don’t go without.

If after reviewing your form we need to have a further discussion with you before re-prescribing your pill, we’ll text you to ask you to book an appointment with one of our specialist nurses.

Contraception review
Please use format day/month/year e.g. 12/05/1979
How many days supply of contraception do you have left?
You can still carry on filling in this form, but if you have less than 14 days of contraception left, please contact your pharmacy now for an emergency prescription of your contraception.

This is to cover you for the time it will take for a nurse at the Practice to review this form and issue a new prescription for you.

If we have your mobile number on file, the Practice nurse will text you to let you know when they’ve reviewed your form and if they’ve been able to re-prescribe your contraception.

Did you find this online form a better way of arranging review and re-order of your contraception rather than calling the Practice to book a review appointment?
