Menopause And Peri-Menopause Assessment: Dedicated Support
Discover Our Comprehensive Menopause Assessment Service
At The Hove Practice, we understand the unique needs of perimenopausal and menopausal patients, and we're dedicated to providing the highest quality menopause services for Brighton, Hove and the South East.
Our Approach:
🌟 Expertise: Our friendly, experienced private general practitioners are here to offer you personalized care tailored to your health and lifestyle.
🕒 Extended Appointments: You deserve the time to discuss your symptoms thoroughly. That's why we offer 45-minute face-to-face assessments to explore your concerns in detail.
🩺 Comprehensive Assessment: We go beyond menopause symptoms and are equipped to identify, investigate, and treat any other underlying conditions that may be causing your symptoms. We will provide advice and, if indicated, recommend lifestyle modifications, techniques to improve your symptoms and/or a prescription.
💉 Blood Tests: To support a precise diagnosis, we offer blood tests during your appointment to distinguish menopause-related symptoms from other health issues.
🔄 Follow-Up Care: Your journey with us doesn't end with the initial consultation. We include a 15-minute follow-up face-to-face or video consultation, within the price, approximately three months later to review your progress.
For an even more in-depth follow-up, you can upgrade to a 30-minute Premium face-to-face appointment for a small additional fee.
🤝 Continuity of Care: We're committed to your long-term well-being. Whether it's managing other health concerns or continuing your menopause treatment, we're here to support you. If you prefer, we can also seamlessly transfer your care to your NHS GP, who will likely continue the same treatment.
🌸 Collaborative care: Additionally, we have developed a group workshop program, in conjunction with The Psychological Therapy Centre, focused on navigating the menopause journey with confidence and resilience.
