✨ Thank you to our NHS Family ✨

For nearly 20 years, we’ve had the privilege of working within the NHS. It’s no secret that the institution we love is struggling, stretched thin, under immense pressure and pushed to its limits. Time will tell what the future holds because at the heart of it, there's real patients, real stories and real loved ones who deserve outstanding, not just good enough care.

But one thing is certain, it continues to stand because of the people within it.

To every member of our NHS family — thank you.

Thank you for your grit.
Thank you for your determination.
Thank you for showing up, day after day, with extraordinary strength and compassion often at the sacrifice of your own wellbeing.

You are the reason the NHS keeps going. You are the heart of it. We are proud to call you our family.

Now let's all take a moment to appreciate Dr Reem's dancing at last nights work Christmas party 💃

Halal or Kosher?

Gepretix is a brand of body identical micronised progesterone

✅ Gepretix capsules use bovine (cow) gelatin not pork.
✅ The gelatin is certified Halal and Kosher (Pareve) by recognised certification bodies. 

📌 What this means: For most people, Gepretix is considered suitable within Halal and Kosher rules.


Thank you for making HRT more accessible for women

Let’s talk coil fit

We had a few patients recently who were not open to the hormone coil ( intrauterine system) because they just did not have enough information to make a choice.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and don’t feel rushed to make any decisions.

heavy menstrual bleeding to the point that you are flooding through clothes your bed covers having to change what method of bleed control you use every 30 minutes to an hour having to stop what you’re doing, not go to work, stay in bed, being told your iron levels are normal when they are actually rock bottom at the lower end of the normal range… common tales and NOT NORMAL

there is never a hard and fast rule in medicine and there are always nuances when it comes to testing but as a general rule if you feel like you are in Perimenopause you are in the right age group and you have symptoms then you do not need a blood test to prove this has often the bloods are extremely confusing because you are likely ovulating and they don’t tell the story of how you are feeling

If someone is taking bloods for hormones, it’s important they understand the variation in your hormones and how to interpret those results

You can also use the gels and creams with an applicator and insert into the vaginal cavity, there is also an oral tablet that can be swallowed to help dryness and symptoms.

We just love to fix up vulvas and vaginas! They need your love and attention too!

On a serious note we know that women without vaginal oestrogen have increased risks of urinary sepsis later in life so it’s not just about women who don’t want to be sore in intimacy only.

Vaginal oestrogen is for every single woman- and if you have been afflicted by a hormone dependent cancer then don’t be afraid to talk to us- you have options!

Be breast aware ladies

get into the habit of checking your breast so you know what normal is for you and if you’re not sure come and tell us and we will help you work out whether or not any further action is required

mammograms in the UK start from the age of 50 but if you are experiencing problems with your breasts under the age of 50, you are not supposed to wait for the national screening. You are meant to come and talk to us

Get feeling those b***s!
