All too often we meet women who are walking around with rock bottom ferritin blood levels they are effectively walking around and trying to manage their everyday life with a flat battery.

We want to help you recharge!

✨ Thank you to our NHS Family ✨

For nearly 20 years, we’ve had the privilege of working within the NHS. It’s no secret that the institution we love is struggling, stretched thin, under immense pressure and pushed to its limits. Time will tell what the future holds because at the heart of it, there's real patients, real stories and real loved ones who deserve outstanding, not just good enough care.

But one thing is certain, it continues to stand because of the people within it.

To every member of our NHS family — thank you.

Thank you for your grit.
Thank you for your determination.
Thank you for showing up, day after day, with extraordinary strength and compassion often at the sacrifice of your own wellbeing.

You are the reason the NHS keeps going. You are the heart of it. We are proud to call you our family.

Now let's all take a moment to appreciate Dr Reem's dancing at last nights work Christmas party 💃

Let’s talk coil fit

We had a few patients recently who were not open to the hormone coil ( intrauterine system) because they just did not have enough information to make a choice.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and don’t feel rushed to make any decisions.

there is never a hard and fast rule in medicine and there are always nuances when it comes to testing but as a general rule if you feel like you are in Perimenopause you are in the right age group and you have symptoms then you do not need a blood test to prove this has often the bloods are extremely confusing because you are likely ovulating and they don’t tell the story of how you are feeling

If someone is taking bloods for hormones, it’s important they understand the variation in your hormones and how to interpret those results
