Check ups and screening
Cervical screening and a general gynaecological review, at the intervals guidance suggests where you live.
Gynaecology appointments with room for every question
Amberleigh Women's Clinic offers check ups, cervical screening, menopause care, assessments for period and pelvic pain, and referrals for fertility care. Every first appointment lasts thirty minutes, and you decide what happens in the room.

Your sayat every step
Your first visit, and what to expect
It begins as a conversation, with you dressed and seated, about what has brought you in, your periods, any pain and anything else on your mind. Many first visits end there, with a plan and no examination at all.
If an examination would help, the doctor explains what it involves and why before asking whether you agree, and you can say no, pause or stop at any point. A chaperone is offered every time, you are welcome to bring someone you trust, and you can ask for a doctor of a particular gender when you send your request.
- You choose who is in the room
- Examinations only with your clear agreement
- Written notes to take home if you would like them
- Interpreters booked ahead at no extra charge
What you can come to us about
Some reasons are routine and some feel hard to say out loud. All of them are ordinary here.
Periods and pelvic pain
Heavy, painful or irregular periods, pelvic pain and symptoms that could point to endometriosis or fibroids.
Menopause care
Perimenopause and menopause symptoms, from hot flushes to sleep and mood, with every treatment option explained.
Contraception
Advice on each method, coil fitting and removal, and help choosing what suits your body and your plans.
Fertility referrals
First tests and a referral to a fertility service when you are ready, with time to talk through what each step means.
Vulval and vaginal concerns
Itching, discharge, discomfort or changes you have noticed, looked at calmly and in private.
Pregnancy care and pregnancy scans are not offered here; the clinic can tell you where to find them nearby.
Bleeding that soaks through a pad within an hour, severe pain low in the tummy, fainting, breathing problems, or pain and bleeding in early pregnancy need urgent care now: phone your local emergency number rather than waiting for a clinic slot.
You can always ask for
Small requests change how an appointment feels. Mention any of them on the form or at reception, and they are noted on your file.
- A chaperone in the room
- Someone you trust beside you
- A doctor of a particular gender
- A longer appointment
- An interpreter
- A quiet place to wait
- To stop an examination at any moment
- Your pronouns on your file
- Information in writing to read at home
- A call instead of a letter
Everyone who needs gynaecological care is welcome here, including trans men and non binary patients, and the team uses the name and pronouns you give.

Things people often want to ask
Will there definitely be an internal examination?
No. Many appointments are talking only. If an examination would help, the doctor explains why and what it involves, and it goes ahead only with your agreement. You can stop it at any moment.
Can someone come in with me?
Yes. A partner, friend, relative or support worker can sit with you, and a trained chaperone is offered as well, whoever else is there.
Is the clinic welcoming to trans and non binary patients?
Yes. Tell us the name and pronouns you use and they go on your file. Doctors ask only what your care needs, and screening advice follows your body and history rather than assumptions.
Do patients need their own doctor's letter to be seen?
Not to pay for a visit yourself. Certain insurers and public health services ask for a doctor's letter before covering a gynaecology visit; the rule changes from country to country, so reception can check it with you.
What if a period starts on the day of screening?
Phone us and we will move the appointment, as screening usually works best away from your period. For any other appointment, a period is no reason to cancel unless you would prefer to.
Can menopause care be discussed without hormone therapy?
Of course. The doctor explains hormone and non hormone options, changes to daily habits and what the evidence says about each, and you choose what to try, if anything.
A calm place to be seen
The clinic sits on a garden courtyard away from the street, with a private side entrance for anyone who would rather not wait in the main room.
Kind words from recent visits (example reviews)
Thirty minutes was enough to get through every question on the list, and the doctor checked before each step. For once a gynaecology visit was not something to dread.
Menopause options laid out side by side, hormones and otherwise, with no push either way. Went home with a written plan and the follow up already arranged.
Pronouns were on the file before arrival and nobody stumbled over them. Screening explained clearly, without a single assumption.
