How Does it Work?
To Book a Virtual Menopause Consultation please contact us.
We will let you know the times and dates available for your Consultation with Miss Sinha. You can pick one convenient for you.
You will receive a 45 minute Virtual Video or Phone Consultation with our doctor, Consultant Gynaecologist, Miss Sinha, depending on your preference and medical situation.
-
Virtual Phone Menopause Consultation - Miss Sinha will call you on the phone number you give us at time of booking.
-
Virtual Video Menopause Consultation - We will email you a secure video link the day before your virtual appointment, with instructions on how to start the video consultation.
We recommend that you also attend a 30 minute follow up appointment 3 months after your initial menopause consultation so we can monitor / adjust your treatment and you can update us on any issues or problems.
After this we recommend annual checkup appointments but we are always here should you need to see us again for any reason.
Virtual Menopause Consultation
Prior to your virtual menopause appointment, you will be contacted by Natasha Worth, our friendly Executive PA. She will answer any questions you may have and will register you on our secure patient management system. This easy to use, digital platform, gives you secure, instant access to your letters and test results 24/7. You can easily upload documents, doctor's letters, and test results, as well as submit any inquiries you may have. Should you require assistance or support while using the system, please do not hesitate to contact us via phone or email. Additionally, we kindly ask you to complete our digital Menopause Symptom Checker. This tool will help us tailor your Menopause Consultation to be as effective and personalized as possible.
During your initial appointment you will receive a comprehensive and thorough 45 minute virtual menopause consultation with our Consultant Gynaecologist, Miss Sinha, to address your concerns and issues. She will thoroughly review your complete medical history, ensuring that your symptoms are understood in the appropriate context for you.
We encourage you to send us any relevant documentation or test results you may have to facilitate this process. She will listen to your story and issues, and together we will create a customised management plan tailored to your individual needs and medical situation, grounded in the latest, evidence-based practice. This plan will be delivered to you within 5 days of your initial appointment via email or letter, or upon receipt of test results.
Prescriptions & Medicinces
If you require any prescription medication such as HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), Miss Sinha can issue this to you. We work with the online pharmacy, Pharmaciege, who can deliver your prescription medication in discreet packaging, with Free Delivery, straight to your door. This is all done online via our clinic software system, without you having to do anything further.
Pharmaciege will email or SMS text you a secure payment link to pay for the prescription medication via credit or debit card. Once paid they will post your medication to you with Free Standard Delivery.
Alternatively we can work with your NHS GP (at their discretion) to issue your prescription medication, if they are happy to do this.

Common Questions about Virtual Menopause Consultations
How is a Virtual Video or Phone Menopause Consultation different to seeing my GP?
GP appointments are typically limited to 10 minute slots, making it extremely challenging to address your Menopause concerns and problems thoroughly. We understand that conveying your health issues in such a brief timeframe can be very difficult and distressing.
Our Virtual Menopause Clinic appointments are 45 minutes long, allowing us to focus on understanding your specific concerns, health conditions, and questions in detail.

Can I share any Medical Tests or GP notes with you before the Virtual Consultation.
Yes, you can provide these to us. We will give you more information on how to do this at the time of booking.
Any extra medical history or medical tests will be extremely valuable in creating your treatment plan.
Will my Health Insurance cover a Virtual Menopause Consultation?
You will need to speak to your Health Insurance provider beforehand to check first. We always recommend that you get their authorisation first prior to any treatment.
Serenity Women's Clinic works with all the main UK Health Insurance providers. You can find the list on our FAQS page here.
Can I reschedule if I cannot make a Virtual Appointment.
Yes, but we ask that you give us at least 48 hours advance notice.
Simply contact us via phone or email, and we will rearrange your virtual consultation to a new time.
If you want to cancel your virtual consultation, please note that we will require a minimum of 48 hours notice. Unfortunately we will be unable to refund your consultation if it is after this time.
Can you arrange Blood Tests if needed?
Yes, we may need blood tests in order to create a treatment plan.
We can arrange this with our partner Randox Health who can ship out easy to use, finger prick, home blood tests.
We can also write to your GP (with your permission) to request further testing.
