What to expect
Support through every stage of your care
Whatever treatment path you’re on, we’re here for you with a holistic range of wellbeing support services to help keep your body and mind as healthy as possible on that journey. You’ll be able to talk to your consultant and multidisciplinary team about your situation, and what kind of support is right for your specific condition, treatment plan and personal preferences and needs.
These are just examples of the kinds of support that can help, but every woman is different. Our experts can help you decide how much support you feel you need, and when you need it, and we’ll always be here for you.
01
Consultation
When you have an initial consultation with one of our private GPs or women's health consultants, they’ll talk you through various types of support that can alleviate your symptoms or worries early on. For example, physiotherapy might help with pelvic pain or weakness, or you could get diet advice to help with a chronic condition like endometriosis.
02
Dealing with your diagnosis
Receiving a diagnosis can have a big emotional impact and it may also require you fundamentally rethink how you live. That’s why we have psychologists and patient resources ready to help you process any news and prepare for your future. If physiotherapy or a tailored diet plan can help before or alongside your treatment, we’ll give you all the support you need.
03
Complementary approaches
The effective and necessary treatments you may need to get better can bring serious physical and mental side effects. Our support is designed help you understand and manage them using proven wellbeing approaches such as acupuncture to alleviate pain from cancer treatment and diet tips for maintaining your strength after surgery.
We also run support groups and events to connect you with people going through similar experiences. Talking really can be the best therapy.
04
Aftercare
You can often make a quicker, stronger recovery if you receive ongoing care, such as physiotherapy following childbirth or surgery. Getting back to everyday life can also be easier with the help of psychological and complementary therapies. Whatever your circumstances, our dedicated support teams are here for you after you’ve been discharged, offering considered and focused aftercare.

Women’s Supportive Services FAQs
Physiotherapy can help to support you with a wide range of conditions, but it’s particularly valuable if you’ve had gynaecological or urological treatment. That’s because it builds muscle strength and speeds up recovery. It can also help during and after pregnancy.
Getting a serious diagnosis can affect your mood and confidence and many conditions and treatments can also have a significant emotional impact. Psychological support can help you process what’s happened and come to terms with how it may affect your life going forward, including your work, your emotional wellbeing, your body image and more.
Yes, it can. Getting the right expert support and advice about your diet can be a hugely effective way to improve your recovery or manage a serious condition in the long-term. Our team of dietitians is here for you with effective and realistic diet plans to help you deliver lasting change.
Complementary therapies can be very effective in shifting your physical and emotional health and putting you in a more positive and healing mindset. If you’re in pain after treatment, you’re anxious or are having trouble sleeping, we have a range of ways to help including acupuncture, reflexology, reiki and more.
Yes, that’s fine. If you let us know your preference when you book your appointment, we’ll do our best to accommodate it.
The cost of your treatment will depend on your individual circumstances and your personalised plan. We’ll always give you a quote outlining exactly what’s included, so you have all the clarity you need, right from the start.
