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.
