Why some patients are struggling to get a GP appointment

When you are unwell or need support managing a condition, we know that you want an appointment with a GP or member of the practice team as quickly as possible and with a minimum of fuss. But, too often, that is something that practices struggle to provide.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Review Form

You will need an up to date blood pressure reading before you complete the online details. This can be easily organised using a home monitoring machine or through local pharmacies and Gyms. Please record this before you complete the application.

General information

Benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

Alternatives to HRT

This form is only for patients who have already been prescribed HRT for menopause symptoms, are happy with it and would like to re-order it.

If you have been advised by the practice to submit an HRT Review Form please use this form.

A clinician will review your form and – if safe to do so – will re-prescribe your HRT medication usually for 6 months.  We’ll send you a text to let you know.  Your HRT will then be available for collection in a few days at your nominated pharmacy or from reception. 

You’ll then need to complete this review form every time you’d like us to re-prescribe HRT.

If after reviewing your form we need to have a further discussion with you before re-prescribing your HRT, we’ll text you to ask you to book a GP appointment.

HRT Review

Do you smoke? *
Have you or a close family member, ever had a blood clot? *
It is thought that the risk of developing a blood clot is 2-4 times higher than normal for women taking HRT tablets. But as the risk of menopausal women developing blood clots is usually very low, the overall risk from taking HRT tablets is still small. It is estimated that for every 1000 women taking HRT tablets for 7.5 years, fewer than 2 will develop a blood clot.
Have you or a close family member got a history of Breast Cancer?
Have you or a close family member got a history of Ovarian Cancer?
