This a specialist clinic dedicated to women in menopause.
Many women identify menopause with a brief period of transition. In reality this a new stage that will continue until the end of your life.
The choices you make in the next 15 years will determine your quality of life in your older years. Our goal is to lead you through this transition and give you advice so that you can aim to be a strong and independent woman when you are older.
This will only happen if you plan how to take care of your health.
For this reason we have a very structured program in our menopausal clinic. We approach all aspects of your health at different stages and we help make the choices that are suitable for you. It is important to understand that there is much more to menopause care that just prescribing hormones.
Our service covers all the extra investigations that might be needed in your menopause care including ultrasounds, biopsies and blood tests.Our clinic is a certified BMS specialist service.Â

FIRST CONSULTATION
At your first menopause consultation we assess your health status, your menopause
symptoms and we make a plan for treatment.
We will give the information you require to make your personal menopause plan.
Please note that blood tests are NOT taken at your first visit as the diagnosis of menopause is based on clinical assessment and not on blood levels. This is in accordance to best practice guidelines issued by International and British Menopause Societies.
FOLLOW UP
If you decide you want to start treatment we ask you to attend us twice a year.
You will have a full pelvic ultrasound and gynecological assessment once a year.
In between this appointments you will attend for a repeat prescription visit.
Some GP’s will prescribe HRT, absolutely, but they can be limited in what they can offer due to time and other constraints. As you can see from our plan outlined in the previous section, our specialists are up to date with the British Menopause Society latest guidelines, we have a structured plan and this is what we are here for. Menopause care is more that just prescribing HRT!
