Healthcare that moves with you

We’re dedicated to providing expert-led healthcare for every woman. Below, we’ll guide you on what to look out for, and what we can offer to help.

Preventative care and health screening

Whatever your age, preventative care is vital to stop any concerns from developing into larger problems. If you’re worried about certain symptoms that you’ve been experiencing, our comprehensive diagnostics offering can help to put your mind at ease. Whether it’s a blood or urine test, an ultrasound or cervical screening, we’ll give you a full picture of your health and match you with the right specialist.

Period health

If something in your menstrual cycle changes, it’s always good to have it checked out. Our gynaecological experts in Hale and Wilmslow can scan for, diagnose and treat a range of menstrual conditions. If you’re experiencing irregular or missed periods (without the possibility of pregnancy) through to fibroids, we’ll also provide tailored endometriosis services to diagnose and treat this commonly overlooked issue.

Sexual health and wellbeing

While it might not be something you’ve considered, our clinical sexologists are hear to listen and help you navigate any sexual concerns you may have. Lots of our patients find taking this first step very liberating, even if at first it is not easy to discuss. We’ll offer support for a range of concerns, including loss of libido and pain during sex, as well as specialist support for women recovering from cancer, or for those who have recently given birth.

Maternity and fertility care

When you’re first thinking about starting your family, checking your fertility can offer much-needed reassurance, or give you the information you need to make certain decisions and plans. If and when you become pregnant, our midwife-led antenatal services or consultant-led packages will be there to make sure everything is progressing well, with ultrasounds from our expert sonographers to help with any concerns you may have. 

With our on-site specialist pregnancy team, including Dr Emma Shawkat, an expert in managing hypertension during pregnancy, Dr Koon Loong Chan, an obstetrics ultrasound specialist, and Dr Philip Bullen, offering a comprehensive range of services to expectant mothers, our Well Baby clinics in Hale can also support you through the early days of parenthood once you’ve welcomed your baby home.

Menopause and living well as you age

As you go through the menopause, our teams in Hale and Wilmslow can help you tackle the challenges and symptoms that accompany it. We’ll work with you to draw up a treatment plan built around your needs and provide treatment options that offer relief. We’ll also focus on your wider wellbeing too, with our clinical sexology and dietetics services offering specific and tailored menopause support as and when you need it.
