Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get the mini pill online without seeing a doctor?

You can. I think Superdrug offer an online service for most things including the mini pill. I'd try them first.

I have my prescription renewed on the phone and need to have my weight and blood pressure readings at the ready.

Yes, I used to buy Cerelle online and DD buys Yasmin after being frustrated trying to get a GP appointment. DD has Endo and so gets really ill if she runs out and being a dippy teenager didnt always request her appointment in time. Also, her GP was resistant to her being on it and used to try and persuade her to change
I would say though that I had been on it for years and DD was originally prescribed by a Gynae Consultant AND we both self checked our BP regularly so do be cautious

Thing is you have to pay. Also, I didn’t get on with the mini pill, no faux periods.

It depends where you live whether you can be prescribed it on the NHS without a GP appointment and gave it delivered. In the areas my sister and I live we can get ours via the NHS and sh:24 as our local NHS trusts commission the service. They text to remind me it might be time to think about reordering, I fill out a questionnaire and get updated at each stage until it arrives through my letterbox

Superdrug Doctor online has been a fantastic service for me, I use it to buy Yasmin combined pill. They’ve been very efficient and reliable.

I have heard of SH:24 but wasn't sure that it was a legit site.

I used Superdrug to get Cerelle for years when my periods started going a bit dippy in peri-meno. It’s really hard to get an appointment at my surgery (this was even before lockdowns) but I did get my BP done at the pharmacy and know I’m a healthy weight. I now have a Mirena as part of HRT but got on very well with the mini pill.

Definitely a legit site, was signposted to it by my GP surgery but unfortunately not available in all areas. When you go onto the site it asks for your age and postcode and then confirms what services have been commissioned for your area.

Yes to sh:24, I've been getting my mini pill from there since covid changed the system at my gp surgery.
