Online Pill Check

If you take any of the oral contraceptive pills you will need an annual review (‘pill check’) at least every twelve months before we can re-authorise your prescription.

You may be due a review sooner if you have recently started or have changed your pill.

This form will allow you to complete the pill check online. We have set up the online pill check with the aim of making it quicker and easier for you to renew your prescription if your pill is suiting you and you wish to continue it. If you are having any problems or concerns or would like to discuss some of the newer ways of taking the combined pill, or discuss other forms of contraception, we would be more then happy to hear from you. Please book an appointment with your named GP or the practice nurse if you would like to discuss anything further.

To fill in this form you will need your current height, weight, and blood pressure. If you do not have the equipment to measure these at home, you are welcome to drop into the practice to do so (no appointment needed).

The pill check will be sent to the practice team and your request will usually be processed within 2 business days. If there are any issues, we will contact you to discuss this further. If there are no issues, we will not contact you, and you may collect your pill from the nominated pharmacy.

If you need help navigating the form, please call the practice.

If you do not complete Height, Weight and Blood pressure your request will NOT be actioned  

Your Details
Dd/mm/yyyy
Please double check you’ve entered the correct email address
It is important to check your blood pressure and weight while you are taking the pill.
Please enter your blood pressure in the XX/XX format.

Your prescription will be sent to your usual nominated pharmacy, if you do not have one you will need to collect it from the surgery.

Pill Check Questions

Aura is when there are specific warning signs just before the migraine begins, for example a change in your vision. See The Migraine Trust information for clarification. If you are uncertain, please contact the practice nurse or your named GP to discuss. It is vital you do not take combined oral contraception if you have a migraine with aura, as this is known to increase your risk of a stroke.:

Smear tests are an essential tool to prevent cervical. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cervical-screening/ They are offered to everyone with a cervix between the age 25 and 64. The screening interval is every three years for those age 25 to 49, and every five years for those aged 50 to 64. You will have received an invitation to book from the national screening service if you are due.

If you have received this invitation, or if you believe you are due a smear after reading, please book a smear test appointment with our nurse.

You should beware that no contraceptive pill is protective against sexually transmitted infections. Full sexual health screening is available from the lime tree clinic or you can collect a self-swab to check for chlamydia from our reception at any time(no appointment needed)- just ask for a ‘Quick check test’.

If you miss a pill, you may be at risk of an unplanned pregnancy. The rules for missed pills vary for the different types of pills. Please see our Sexual Health page for more information

Your Health and safety are important to us, and we need to ensure that we have sufficient information to complete this review. If at any time you have concerns about your pill, then please book a nurse or Gp appointment:

Is this request early, due to a holiday or loss of medication? Please let us know if so.
