Overview
Heard properly, not hurried through.
For too many women, the things that matter get ten minutes and a shrug. Symptoms are normalised, or put down to age, and the appointment is over before the real question has been asked.
We take a different view. Time to listen, a proper history, and the tests to understand what is going on. From your twenties through to beyond menopause, you see a GP who knows you and has time for whatever you bring, however small it feels.
What we help with
From menopause to monthly cycles, and everything around them.
One GP-led service for every stage, from your first questions about contraception through to menopause and beyond.
PCOS
Assessment, hormonal profiling and a personalised plan covering lifestyle, symptoms and ongoing review.
Endometriosis and pelvic pain
A careful review of your symptoms, with onward referral to specialist gynaecology when it is needed.
Periods
Irregular, heavy or painful periods looked at properly, with hormonal testing where it helps.
Contraception advice
A proper conversation about your options, with oral contraception prescribed where it suits you.
Cervical screening
Smear tests carried out in clinic, at a pace that suits you.
Hormonal blood testing
Hormone profiles, thyroid and more, interpreted alongside how you actually feel.
Libido and sexual health
A private, judgement-free space to raise concerns about libido and sexual wellbeing.
Breast health
Assessment of breast concerns, with prompt referral for imaging or specialist review where appropriate.
Concerns we support
If something does not feel right, we want to hear about it.
Whatever stage you are at, these are some of the concerns we help with most often. If yours is not listed, it is still worth raising.
Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
Hot flushes, night sweats and disrupted sleep
Mood changes, anxiety and brain fog
PCOS and hormonal imbalance

Irregular, heavy or painful periods
Contraception and family planning
Libido and sexual health concerns
Fertility-related questions and hormonal testing
The tests that help
The tests behind a proper hormone review.
Where they help, we arrange private blood tests in clinic and read the results against your symptoms and history, not a lab range alone.
Hormone profile
FSH, LH, oestradiol and progesterone
Thyroid function
A common, treatable cause of fatigue and mood change
Full blood count
Including markers of anaemia from heavy periods
AMH testing
A marker of ovarian reserve, where fertility is a question
Vitamin D and B12
Often overlooked, and simple to put right
Tests are recommended where there is clear clinical value. Your GP will explain what each one tells us.
