Fees and insurance
Consultation fees, self-funding and the insurers we are recognised by.
What a consultation includes
The appointment, any examination, and bloods or swabs taken on the day. A scan is quoted separately and you will be told before it is done.
Insurance
We are recognised by the major insurers. Most require a GP referral and prior authorisation before your first appointment.
Procedures are quoted as packages
Surgery is quoted covering the consultant, the anaesthetist, the hospital and the scheduled follow-up, so there is one figure.
Discretion
Invoices and correspondence go where you tell us to send them. Tell reception if there is anywhere they should not go.
How it works
How your care runs
- 01
Your first appointment
Up to forty-five minutes. We take the whole history — most gynaecological diagnoses are made there rather than on a scan.
- 02
Examination and imaging
Where it is indicated, with a chaperone available and the scan done and explained during the same appointment.
- 03
A written plan
What we think is going on, every option including doing nothing, and what each involves. Yours to take away.
- 04
Treatment
Medical, physiotherapy, an outpatient procedure or surgery — carried out by the consultant who assessed you.
- 05
Review
Booked at the start rather than left to you to chase. Most treatments here need adjusting once.
Before you come
Your appointment
A chaperone is always available
Offered for every examination, and yours whether or not you are asked. You may also bring someone of your own.
You can stop at any point
Without giving a reason. An examination that is not comfortable can be paused or abandoned.
Bring your dates
The date your last period started, and roughly how your cycle has been running. It changes what we look for.
Tell us how you want to be contacted
Whether we may leave a voicemail, send a text, or write to your GP. All three are your decision.
Checklist
What to bring
- The date your last period started, and a note of your recent cycles
- A list of medicines, including contraception and any hormonal treatment
- Any previous scan reports, letters or screening results
- A note of your family history, particularly breast, ovarian or bowel cancer
