We adhere to the guidelines set by the British Menopause Society and NICE for perimenopause and menopause consultations, including HRT and testosterone prescribing. You will receive a copy of our consultation notes, which will also be sent to your NHS GP. Please note that all patients must be in the UK at the time of their consultation.

What happens at your consultation?

For many women, hormonal imbalances can be confusing and challenging, often silently impacting their quality of life. We’ll focus on supporting you through this journey by creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We’re here to help and provide care for any symptoms you may be experiencing.

Below is a basic outline of what to expect during your consultation, and we value your feedback and welcome any ideas on how we can improve our support.

  • To schedule a new patient consultation, simply book an online or in-person appointment at your convenience. If you can’t find a suitable time, please contact us via our online form or call/text us on 07932038011.

    It would be helpful to have your blood pressure measurements ready for our first consultation.

  • With us, the patient always comes first. During the initial consultation, which can take up to 45-60 minutes, we will take time to discuss your symptoms, concerns and explain their underlying causes. We are guided by British Menopause Society and NICE guidelines to ensure you receive evidence-based options tailored to your individual needs. We will discuss and advise you on a range of treatments, including hormonal and non-hormonal options, alternative and complementary therapies and lifestyle changes including sleep, exercise, mental health, weight management. Lifestyle is a big part of managing menopause in the long term, therefore cannot be missed in our consultation.

    We will discuss the importance of bones protection, prevention of osteoporosis and fractures, as well as menopause impact on woman’s heart. This will help to understand why women are at increased risk for serious heart matters such as heart attack, stroke, increase blood pressure.

    If you have had any bloods done, we can discuss the results, if appropriate. Or we will advise if blood test needs to be done.

    We will make sure to answer all your questions and provide you with the guidance and information you need to decide about your care and treatment. Prescription can be issued on the same appointment, if applicable.

    We will send you a complimentary email after one month to check your progress and this also gives you an opportunity to ask a question if necessary.

  • Our goal is to create a personalised treatment plan together based on your unique needs. We may prescribe HRT or non-hormonal treatments, depending on what is appropriate for you.

    If necessary, we may recommend additional investigations or assessments. Following the initial consultation, we will recommend follow up consultations and ongoing care package. We are here for you, as long as and when you need us.

    You will get a copy of our consultation within 2 weeks of the appointment date. The same copy will be sent to the NHS GP within 2 weeks, which is important for continuation of care, if necessary. For this reason, we will ask you to provide NHS GP address and your consent to contact them.

  • Blood tests are not always necessary, but many symptoms can be overlapping with other medical conditions. Some women may have anaemia or low vitamin D or B12, increased cholesterol or changes in the thyroid function.

    We have a comprehensive profile of Ultimate Well Woman Blood Profile and full report is based on your results, together with advice and action plan, if necessary.

    Usually takes about 2-5 days to get results, but if your request is urgent, please let us know in advance.
