Women's Health
At the Fleet Street Clinic, we care passionately about women’s health and offer a range of services to ensure that our female patients are healthy and confident at every stage of life.
Women’s health embodies so many different things – from contraception to cervical screenings, full medical checks and menopause care. For us, it also means innovation: with our own on-site laboratory, we provide STI screening and testing with same day results, including same day results for HPV testing on cervical smears.
Based in a calm and comfortable setting, our team of experienced female doctors and nurses are here to help – and can also draw on our extensive referral network of consultants to direct you to a suitable specialist when needed. When one of our patients finds a breast lump, for example, we can usually arrange a specialist referral on the same day.
If you’ve not been to see us before, we very much look forward to welcoming you to the Fleet Street Clinic.
Contraception
Choosing the right form of contraception can be a little overwhelming, since there is so much choice. We offer a range of contraceptive options for women and are confident that, with our expert guidance, you will be able to find one that suits you and your lifestyle well, and will provide stress-free, pain-free protection against pregnancy.
Cervical Screening
Cervical screening is a vital health service that helps detect early changes in cervical cells, allowing for timely intervention before they develop into cervical cancer.
Regular screening is crucial for early detection and prevention, significantly reducing the risk of cervical cancer and safeguarding your long-term health.
Female Medicals
We offer a range of female medicals to check the health of your entire body. Medicals are a perfect way to get a good overview of your current health. Regular medicals are a great way of preventing possibly serious future health issues. They can give you peace of mind top to toe and also tell you ways in which certain lifestyle changes can make you even healthier.

Female Health Screenings
Small, regular health screenings are vital for preventing serious health issues. If you don’t want a full medical, you can have individual health screens depending on your individual concerns. This might just be a gynaecological health check, or even more specific, like a breast examination or a cervical smear. This type of screening allows you to understand your health status and give you peace of mind.
Contraceptive Pill
The contraceptive pill is a very popular choice of contraception for women. It is widely trusted with very little side effects. There are many different types of “the pill” with different combinations of hormones which can accommodate your individual needs. With the guidance our our doctors, you can choose the right one for you.
We are able to provide supplies from our in-house pharmacy.
Contraceptive Implant
Contraceptive implants are very popular with women who find it difficult to remember to take the contraceptive pill everyday. This long-acting reversible contraceptive is highly effective and offers protection for many years before needing changing.
Contraceptive Coil
Coils are also a very popular, highly effective, long-acting, reversible contraceptive. There are two different types of coil available, one even being non-hormonal. This option is preferred by many women who want a stress-free contraceptive.
Female-led service
Our women’s health services are built on a foundation of trust, mutual understanding and respect, led by an amazing team of women.
You can come to our clinic and feel confident knowing that one of our female clinicians will provide you with the highest quality of care. They understand women at a medical and personal level and take a compassionate and understanding approach to all their services.

FAQs
Most gynaecological services can be done whilst you are on your period including coils and implants, with the exception of having a cervical smear. If you have any concerns about this, please let us know before your appointment, and we’ll be able to advise you if we think you need to postpone coming to see us.
We are not a specialist fertility clinic but we can look at your health in general and see if there are any causes for concern. If you are at an early stage in the process, our doctor may suggest a basic series of tests and screenings to delve a little deeper. If after initial investigations they feel you would be better suited to be under the care of a specialist, they will be able to refer you.
If you have symptoms of possible endometriosis, come and see one of our doctors in the first instance. If you would feel more comfortable you are welcome to ask to see one of our female doctors. They will ask you about your current health and symptoms and help confirm the diagnosis. If you are already have a diagnosis and either want a second opinion or a discussion about next steps, please book an appointment and we will do our best to help.
Yes, this a very common issue for many of our patients, and our doctors will be happy to look after and support you, and explain all the options available.

Grace G
The travel nurse was lovely and very efficient with giving me vaccines. She even took the time to nurse a wound I had whilst I was there. Really great care.
Connie
After I was let down with little notice by another pharmacy, I called Fleet Street Clinic and was booked in for the next day for my remaining travel jabs. Staff were very welcoming, professional and efficient. I had a great experience and would highly recommend using their travel vaccination services. The prices are very competitive and they had stock of the rabies vaccine when it was out of stock elsewhere!

Excellent and efficient service from reception to consultation. Arranged good contact with my local GP which has enabled me to complete my treatment early next week.

Had a great experience at Fleet Street Clinic. I went in for my occupational health clearance and everything was smooth from start to finish.
