How the Online Consultation Process Works
Book your physician consultation online (£225)
Complete the pre-consultation questionnaires
During the consultation, the physician will review your medical history,
discuss options and agree a treatment plan
Details of any medicines we recommend will be sent electronically to the local online pharmacy of your choice
The physician will send a letter to your GP and a copy to you
There are no additional costs for GP letters or treatment recommendations issued during consultations.
In some cases, your physician may recommend blood tests – you may have these done at your local GP service or at a partner clinic. In some circumstances it may be possible for a kit to be sent to your home and for samples to be taken from a finger prick.
8.4 million women are currently going through the menopause in the UK
The population of London is 8,799,800. This figure comes from the latest UK census which was conducted in 2021.
In London, approximately 51% of the population are women, this means that a significant number of women will be experiencing perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms, leading to challenges affecting their work and life. Research shows that some will even lose or give up their jobs because of the impact of menopause on their work performance.
Women over 50 are the fastest-growing demographic in the workplace. But research has shown that 10% of women leave their jobs and many more are reducing their hours or passing up promotions because of their menopausal symptoms. Three in four women experience menopause symptoms and one in four have severe symptoms (UK government report on menopause and the workplace).
At NewWoman Health, our doctors and experts (life and work coaches, nutritionists, counsellors, and therapists) all have menopausal expertise and can provide you with the evidence-based information, treatment and/or support that can optimise your experience of both peri-menopause and menopause, and your overall quality of life as a result.
Our physicians and experts provide services via our website so you can schedule on-line consultations around your convenience without needing to travel to a clinic.
84% of women in the workplace feel they have no one to turn to when experiencing menopausal symptoms
14% of women have reduced hours of employment as a result of menopause and 10% have even quit their jobs.
As London is the capital of the UK and a huge sector for business and finance, it is likely that many women living and working in the city will face additional challenges as a consequence of the menopause affecting their work and life. Some may even lose or give up their jobs because of it.
NewWoman Health can address this by giving women the treatment, advice, and support they need to take control of their menopause experience. We can provide the information and tools to help women make the right decisions to optimise their overall quality of life. This includes making decisions around health, family and social life, as well as work.

This will allow you to schedule and manage your consultations quickly and conveniently.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) refers to the use of estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone to treat menopause symptoms. These hormones are naturally produced by the ovaries, but during the perimenopause, (early stages of menopause before periods stop), their levels start to fall, resulting in the symptoms that many women experience during the menopause transition, including irregular menstrual bleeding, hot flushes, difficulty with concentration and memory (”brain fog”) and changes in fat deposition and skin/hair changes.
Declining levels of estrogen are also associated with a range of medical conditions, including:
- heart disease and strokes
- osteoporosis (bone thinning)
- muscle and joint degeneration
- Alzheimer’s disease
The aim of HRT is to replace the estrogen that’s being lost; much the same as we do when we recommend thyroxine for an underactive thyroid. Replacing the hormones that are no longer being produced relieves many of the symptoms of menopause and reduces the risk of the medical conditions mentioned earlier.
At NewWoman Health we have a commitment to educating, advising, treating and supporting women approaching, during, and following menopause. If you’re concerned about your menopause transition and/ or other menopause-related problems, including treatment options, we can support you with our personalised medical consultations with menopause specialists.

Osteoporosis and the Menopause
Osteoporosis is a progressive, systemic (affecting the whole body) skeletal disease that affects bones, making them fragile and more likely to break (osteoporosis means “porous bone”).
Osteoporosis usually occurs in later life and affects both sexes, but women are at greater risk, particularly after the menopause, when levels of the hormone estrogen are no longer adequate to provide protection.
Research shows that osteoporosis may have a significant effect on quality of life. In a study by Opinion Health in 500 women over age 55 with postmenopausal osteoporosis:
- 77% said osteoporosis had an impact on their life
- 43% said it had an impact on day-to-day tasks, such as housework and gardening
- 36% said their quality of life was adversely affected, and
- 65% said they suffered pain to some degree
Estrogen is necessary for the maintenance of healthy bones, and as levels fall following menopause, normal bone remodelling is impaired, and many women experience a rapid fall in bone density. You can read more about Osteoporosis and Fracture Risk on our dedicated resource page.
At NewWoman Health we have a commitment to educating, advising, treating and supporting women across the UK including Manchester and Greater Manchester approaching, during, and following menopause. If you live in or around Manchester and you are concerned about your menopause transition and/ or other menopause-related problems, including treatment options, we can support you with our personalised medical consultations with menopause specialists.
