Menopause Consultation
Our private menopause consultation offers a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment delivered by Dr Vadgama, a highly experienced GP with a special interest in menopause and a member of the British Menopause Society. This extended appointment (up to 60 minutes) is designed to provide protected time for a detailed exploration of your symptoms, concerns, and health priorities within a supportive and unhurried clinical environment.
​
In line with current NICE guidelines and British Menopause Society recommendations, the consultation includes a thorough medical assessment. Diagnosis and management are based primarily on clinical evaluation, particularly in women over 45, without unnecessary reliance on laboratory testing unless clinically indicated. We assess the full spectrum of menopausal symptoms alongside individual cardiovascular, breast health, and osteoporosis risk factors.
​
A holistic, patient-centred approach underpins all management decisions. Evidence-based treatment options are discussed in detail, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT)with individualised risk benefit assessment as well as non-hormonal pharmacological treatments and lifestyle interventions such as sleep optimisation, nutrition, and physical activity.
​
A core strength of this service is the provision of protected time to ensure you feel fully heard, understood, and supported. This enables shared decision-making, allowing for personalised treatment choices that reflect your preferences, values, and clinical needs. Complex or persistent symptoms can be explored in depth, with space for questions, reassurance, and continuity of care.
​
Our aim is to optimise symptom control, support long-term health, and empower women to confidently manage the menopausal transition.
