Contraception
Start the pill, or carry on with it, without waiting for a GP
Combined pill, progestogen-only pill or the patch, started or continued after a blood pressure check and a short assessment. Supply is usually for twelve months, so you are not back in every three.
Who it is for
- Anyone wanting to start hormonal contraception
- People who have run out and cannot get a GP appointment
- Anyone whose current pill is not suiting them
What happens on the day
- Blood pressure, weight and a short medical history taken
- A conversation about which method fits your life, not just your notes
- Supply issued the same visit where it is suitable
What to bring
- The name of your current pill, or its packaging
- The date your last period started
