Common questions

Can I discuss menopause symptoms with a GP?

Yes. A GP appointment can cover symptoms, evidence-based options, preventive care and follow-up. Please book long if symptoms are complex.

Do I need to call before booking antenatal care?

Online booking is available for routine appointments. If you are unsure about timing, appointment type or urgency, confirm with reception.

Will I need tests?

Your GP will discuss tests only where clinically appropriate for your symptoms, history and stage of care.
