Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions do your women’s health reviews cover?
Our pharmacists work within their assessed competence and the commissioned clinic scope. Our independent prescribers can prescribe within that scope; concerns needing examination or specialist input are escalated. Conditions that our team can review include:
- Menopause and perimenopause
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
- Pill checks for the progestogen-only pill (POP) and the combined oral contraceptive pill (COC)
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
- Medication reviews for treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Acne related to contraception
- Management of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), or vaginal atrophy
- Postpartum medication advice
- Chronic disease medication interactions
How does a remote review work?
Our women’s health review service is remotely completed by our expert team of pharmacists. This is done either by phone or video call, as the patient requests.
We will ask practices to take blood pressure or BMI if the readings are either not available from the patient, or are clinically concerning. This remote hybrid service reduces administrative burden for practices and onsite appointment numbers.
What happens at a pill check appointment?
During the appointment, one of our pharmacists will get in touch with the patient either by phone or video call. They will have a conversation about the contraceptive pill that the patient has been taking. Within this review, our pharmacists will discuss contraceptive history, risk factor screening, side effects, counselling, and medication assessments.
Other safety checks performed include:
- VTE risk factors
- Smoking status
- Migraine with aura assessment
- BMI and blood pressure readings
- Medication interactions
- New diagnoses that may contraindicate the COC
- Postpartum status
- Missed pill management
