Pill Checks
For patients on oral contraceptives (the pill) an annual review needs to be performed. This involves a blood pressure check and review of your medication. This review is carried out by one of our nurses. In between these reviews, you can request a repeat prescription of your pill in the usual way.
Emergency Contraception(morning after pill).
It is important that if you are needing this you take it as soon as possible so please phone the surgery and tell the receptionist that this is what you need and she will organise for a doctor or nurse to speak to you when available.
