Renewing Your Current Contraceptive Prescription
You may already be taking contraception. If you need a repeat prescription, please book an appointment with a nurse for this to be reviewed. Or you can complete the form here: Contraceptive Pill Review Form.
If you are using a combined hormonal contraceptive, we need to check your blood pressure, height and weight at least every year.
