Menopause at Work: GP Support for Exeter Professionals

Menopause doesn't schedule itself around your career. Brain fog in the budget meeting, broken sleep before presentations, flushes in a warm office: for many women the workplace is where symptoms bite hardest, and where they feel least discussable.

This is a medical issue with medical answers

Too many women quietly downgrade their working lives, reducing hours, declining promotions, even leaving jobs, before anyone offers proper treatment. At our Exeter clinic, menopause care starts from the opposite premise: symptoms that affect your work deserve treatment that works.

What we offer

• A full, unhurried consultation: your symptoms, your history, your priorities, with work impact treated as a legitimate clinical concern
• Evidence-based options: HRT where appropriate and wanted, with preparation and dose personalised and reviewed; effective non-hormonal routes where it isn't
• The practical extras: sleep strategies, managing flushes in professional settings, and documentation for workplace adjustments where useful
• Follow-up that fits your diary: reviews by video with the same GP, so treatment gets tuned without eating annual leave

The one-appointment start

Most patients tell us the first consultation was the turning point. Not because everything resolved instantly, but because someone finally took the whole picture seriously and made a plan. If symptoms are costing you at work, book that appointment.
