Appointments

(Online consultations also available)

Unfortunately, the clinic is currently at capacity and not taking on new patients at present. We envisage this will be for a short period of time only, and this page will be updated as soon as capacity increases

What happens during an appointment?

A first appointment consists of a 55 mins consultation focusing on your symptoms, concerns, goals, and the initiation of a treatment plan. Sometimes an examination will be required based on the symptoms you are experiencing.

Occasionally further tests and procedures will be recommended which may incur additional costs such as:

  • Blood tests
  • Pelvic ultrasound scan
  • DEXA scan to assess bone mineral density
  • Mirena Coil insertion
  • STI screen

A personalised consultation report outlining recommendations, treatment, and investigations ( if required) will be sent to you following the consultation. We recommend that a copy is also sent to your GP.

What to bring with you to the appointment?

Please bring a copy of any recent blood tests, breast, endocrine, or gynaecological investigations to the appointment to prevent duplicate investigations and to help with decision making. If you have a complex medical history, it can be helpful to bring a copy of the summary page of your medical history which lists your background medical history and current medications. This can be obtained from your GP before your appointment.

It can also be helpful to fill out a copy of the Danu Symptom Chart to bring with you to the appointment.

Review appointments

A review appointment lasts for 30minutes and assesses the response to treatment initiated during the first consultation. Please note that in the first year of commencing a hormonal therapy, tweaks are often required, and it can take time before the final bespoke regimen is obtained – especially for women with hormone sensitivity; during the perimenopause when there are ongoing hormonal fluctuations; and because we are all individual and different.

Please note : no repeat prescription will be issued without a review appointment.

A summary of the consultation will be sent to you and your GP.
