Patients who do not fall into the above categories will need to be appointed with a family planning trained nurse or own GP for annual review.
If no concerns are identified following review of the questionnaire, a prescription will be issued for 12 months by the patients own GP, within 5 working days. Prescriptions are not issued on the day. If you need to be seen, the doctor will arrange an appropriate appointment.
Patients are advised to seek advice between planned visits if they have any concerns or develop major illness, migraine (or worsening thereof), take new medication or if a first degree relative (sibling or parent) develops cardiovascular / thromboembolic disease before age 45 or breast cancer.
Please do not hesitate to feedback any questions or comments in order that we can improve the service further.
