If you are thinking about an oral contraceptive, then please speak to your local pharmacy who can advise, initiate and monitor oral tablets.

​All Family Planning and sexual health services in Hillingdon are provided by the Integrated Sexual and Reproductive Health Service (ISRH)

If the GP feels your symptoms need further investigation a referral to a specialist may be made. There are many common conditions that these symptoms could be linked to, including the possibility of cancer. 

​Because the referral is urgent, it means that you will be offered an appointment at hospital within four weeks. 

• We provide preconception, general antenatal and postnatal care including contraceptive services
• We hold 6 week baby checks and follow the childhood immunisation schedule
• We aim to offer appointments at parents convenience after school hours.
• We aim to assess all acutely unwell children when necessary
• We work with Health Visitors and hold monthly meetings to discuss concerns.
• We liaise with social services with regards to any child at risk

​Immunisations

There has been a lot of bad publicity about immunisation of children but remember, your child is in greater risk from contracting the disease than he or she is from suffering a reaction to the immunisation.

Medicines for Minor Ailments in Pregnancy

To make it easier for pregnant women to access medicines that can be purchased over the counter at pharmacies, the NW London Local Maternity System has worked closely with the Local Pharmacy Committees, Hospital Pharmacy Committees and the CCG Medicines Management Teams to provide a pathway and information that will standardise the advice given by healthcare providers.  Women have been consulted and 94% already purchase OTC products in a non-standardised way.
