Contraceptive Pill Checks Posted or Updated on 10 Jul 2024

These routine six monthly checks,including issue of the prescription, are now carried out by our Practice Nurses instead of the doctors.

A routine Nurse consultation should be booked in the usual way.

We expect that this change will make it easier for patients to attend for both early and late time slots thereby improving access for this particular service as well as freeing up some GP time for more involved problems.

Please note that patients who wish to start taking using this option for contraception or are having any 'problems' wth their existing pill should continue to make a GP consultation in the usual way.
