Women's health clinics
Women's health services cover gynaecology, menopause care, well-woman screening, breast clinics, and antenatal and maternity care. Care is available on the NHS and privately. Doctors are registered with the GMC, and private clinics and hospitals in England are registered with and inspected by the Care Quality Commission.
Areas of care
- Gynaecology — assessment and treatment of conditions affecting the reproductive system.
- Menopause — symptom assessment and management, including discussion of treatment options.
- Well-woman checks — health screening and preventive checks.
- Breast clinics — assessment of breast symptoms and screening.
- Maternity & antenatal — pregnancy care, available on the NHS and privately.
NHS and private together
Much of women's healthcare is delivered by the NHS, including cervical and breast screening programmes and maternity care. Some women choose private clinics for faster access or continuity with a particular consultant. You can use both.
Getting checked
If you have symptoms that worry you — such as a breast change, unusual bleeding or pelvic pain — seek advice promptly from your GP or a clinic. This page is general information, not medical advice. Always consult a qualified clinician.
