Please state when booking an appointment that you wish to book the contraceptive clinic and whether or not it is a repeat prescription issued previously by the Student Health Center or if it is your first time requesting a contraceptive prescription from us.

Renewal of prescriptions: Repeat prescriptions can be issued by the nurse but appointments must be booked at least 48 hours in advance.
