Menopause Solutions provides comprehensive support for women navigating menopause in the workplace. We offer personalised, one-to-one consultations, educational seminars, and specialised training workshops for employers. Our team consists exclusively of General Practitioners with advanced expertise in menopause care.

Every business has unique needs when it comes to supporting menopause in the workplace. We work closely with your HR team to develop bespoke packages that align with your organisation’s goals, ensuring tailored support for your employees.

We offer a premium quality service delivered by experienced doctors who specialise in menopause care. Unlike many support agencies, our team brings extensive clinical expertise to ensure the highest standards of care. Our pricing is structured to reflect this level of professionalism while remaining competitive and adaptable to meet the unique needs of your business.

Following your appointment, your clinician will send a letter to your registered email address. This letter will provide an outline of the consultation including recommendations and useful resources. You can bring this letter to your NHS or private GP who can prescribe medications and request investigations.

Employees can liaise with their GP or their private GP in order to obtain their HRT prescription. We recommend liaising with their NHS GP as this is more cost effective due to the HRT prepayment certificate. This certificate costs £19.80 and will cover all your eligible HRT prescriptions for that period.

To make the most of your time with us, we recommend setting aside one hour for your appointment and finding a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable discussing your health.

Before your appointment, please complete our online questionnaire (SEMBLE LINK HERE ONCE CREATED), which covers your medical history, current symptoms, and any medications you’re taking. Completing this thoroughly will help us tailor the session to your needs, as one of our specialists will review it prior to your consultation.

Yes, we can provide your GP with a comprehensive letter following your consultation. At Menopause Solutions, our extended consultation time allows us to provide a detailed summary that complements your GP’s shorter appointment slots. This helps ensure continuity of care and supports your GP in managing your ongoing treatment effectively.

We understand that every patient is different and some patients may have a more complex history which requires ongoing management from a specialist. We can identify this during our consultation and discuss GP referral to secondary care or referral to a private specialist for ongoing management. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive, specialist consultation so that women are informed about their ongoing menopause journey and how to navigate the next step.

Our website hosts a comprehensive resource library, filled with evidence-based information leaflets and videos covering key aspects of menopause care. These resources are designed to support you both before and after your appointment, ensuring you have accurate and accessible information throughout your journey. Following your consultation, your clinician will provide a personalised list of recommended resources in your clinic letter to help address your unique needs.

With our extensive expertise in workplace menopause support, we provide a thorough review of your existing menopause policies or guide you in developing new ones. We ensure that your policies not only meet current legal standards but also align with best practices to foster an inclusive work environment. Our in-depth knowledge of the Equality Act and its application in discrimination cases involving menopausal women helps protect both employees and employers, ensuring compliance and reducing legal risk.

Our training workshops equip employers with the tools to foster a culture of tolerance and inclusion by promoting open, respectful conversations about menopause. We emphasise the importance of tailored, confidential support for women, helping organisations build a compassionate workplace where everyone feels heard and valued.
