Questions, answered

We are preparing to open in Manchester. Join the waiting list and we will email you as soon as appointments can be booked.

No. You can book directly. If your GP would like to refer you, we welcome that too.

If you are new to us, book an initial consultation. If you already take HRT prescribed elsewhere and want it reviewed, choose an HRT review. If you have a more complicated history, such as a past blood clot, a hormone-sensitive cancer or problems with previous treatment, choose a complex consultation.

Yes. You choose when you book, and you will see the same doctor at your follow-ups.

We aim to see new patients within a week.

For most menopause consultations, yes, because the conversation matters most. If you need a blood pressure check or an examination, we will advise how to arrange it.

Adults anywhere in the UK.

Of course. A partner, friend or relative is welcome in person or on the video call.

We mainly see people over 40, and younger people when early menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency is suspected.

Between them our doctors consult in English, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi.

Yes. Our Manchester clinic has step-free access. Tell us about anything else that would help.

No. Prescriptions, any blood tests and medicines are charged separately, only when needed, and we always explain costs first.

Some insurers cover menopause consultations. Please check with yours before booking. We can provide an itemised invoice.

No. You pay for each appointment.

Not necessarily. We discuss every suitable option, hormonal and non-hormonal, and help you decide. Prescribing is always a clinical decision based on your assessment.

Usually not if you are over 45. NICE guidance recommends diagnosing from your symptoms. Tests can help if you are under 45.

We prescribe licensed, regulated body-identical hormones where appropriate, as the British Menopause Society recommends. We do not prescribe unregulated compounded “bioidentical” hormones.

Yes, where it is suitable. Following NICE guidance, testosterone may be considered for low sexual desire when HRT alone has not helped.

Once you are settled, we write to your GP recommending they continue your treatment. Most are happy to, though it is their decision.

Yes. It is one of the most common reasons people see us. Book an HRT review, or an initial consultation if things are more complicated.
