We offer personalised consultations to explore your perimenopausal symptoms and the impact on your life. Work together with our menopause specialist to devise a treatment plan suitable to your individual needs. Whether that is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), non-hormonal treatments or lifestyle plans, we aim to improve your symptoms, quality of life and in turn, your long term health.
Our appointments are available face-to-face at our clinic in Bridge of Allan, Stirling, Central Scotland, or by virtual consultation online. You can self-refer to our clinic and do not need a referral letter from your GP.

Blood tests
Blood tests are not required to diagnose the perimenopause or menopause. We can usually diagnose based on your symptoms, however it can be helpful to check blood tests in certain situations such as:
in those under 40 years old
to exclude other causes of your symptoms such as anaemia and thyroid issues
to help guide hormone treatments (once established on HRT)
a routine health check including testing levels of cholesterol and for diabetes
If required, we can take your blood tests during your appointment at our clinic, or we can arrange for you to attend your local phlebotomy clinic provided by Nationwide Pathology. Phlebotomy clinics will charge a fee for taking the blood test, this is approximately £30
Blood tests can only be carried out forexisting patients as part of a consultation. Payment for bloods must be taken at the time of when the blood test is ordered/taken. We have the right to change our pricing for blood tests at any time.
Results
Blood tests are processed by the Nationwide Pathology lab. We will provide you with a summary and a full explanation of your results via email within 7 days.
