Title: Has anyone used the Menopause clinic (private) in Cambridge?
Post by: Pinkjan4288 on March 08, 2018, 12:35:24 PM
I'm thinking of going there, My Gp has already told me to come back for HRT when I don't have a period for a year. I'm definitely peri. Blood tests and symptoms have shown this. After a thread I put on her the other day and got great advice I'm thinking of just paying to see someone privately.
Cambridge is my nearest city.

Has anyone been there?

I don't know anyone to see privately in Cambridge but I can recommend Mr. Warren in Norwich. DG x

HelloPinkjan.

At the end of January I saw Imogen Shaw at the Nuffield Hospital in Cambridge. She was very helpful and gave me a private prescription for Oestrogel, Utrogestan and Vagifem. The appointment was for 40 mins and cost 180 pounds and she said I may like to return after 3 months to see how I'm doing. She was very sympathetic and reassuring and regularly holds a menopause clinic at the hospital.

Hope that helps and wishing you well.

Hello Daisydot.

My GP had actually offered Oestrogel and Utrogestan for me about two years ago so I knew my surgery were okay with prescribing them and it wasn't difficult to get the HRT on the NHS.

I hope this helps and wishing you well.
