Pill Repeats

Under certain conditions we may be able to issue repeat prescriptions of the contraceptive pill without the need to see a doctor or nurse.

You may apply for a repeat prescription of the same contraceptive pill if

• you are aged between 18 and 35
• you are currently taking certain contraceptive pills that have been prescribed by a GP at our practice. The list of pills is available on the application form.
• you have had your blood pressure and weight measured in the last year, either in the practice or by a health professional, and these are within safe limits.
• you have had a cervical smear test within the last three years.
• you are happy with your current pill and have no problems or side effects

Your repeat prescription will usually be ready for collection within 2 working days. If you wish to have your prescription posted to you, you can enclose a stamped addressed envelope and we will post it to you.

Newly registering patients must first see a nurse for a pill check before they can use this system for obtaining repeat contraceptive pills
