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 Travel Health Kit Online Consultation
Gynaecological and urinary tract infections (UTIs) such as thrush and cystitis are more likely to occur during travel, especially in hot countries.
Our female travel health kit contains everything you'd need to help diagnose and treat gynae and UTI infections on the go.

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.

Ella Nicholls
Recently had some travel vaccines done at Fleet Street Clinic, a very positive experience all round ! Reception team were very polite and helpful as were the nurses who made me feel at ease and offered some very valuable information! Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to get travel vaccines :)
Blake
Had to get a whooping cough vaccine to visit my new nephew in Australia…couldn’t have asked for a better service. Phoned on during the week, booked in for 9am, I arrived a few minutes early and was walking out the door vaccinated and back to work in less than 10 minutes after a refreshing chat with the lovely staff. What more can you ask for???
Kara Martin
I was feeling ill while visiting from the States and am so glad I found this clinic. They slotted me in right away and provided everything I needed in-house without having to go to a pharmacy. I’m sure that’s not the case for all medications, but it’s great they can offer that service and that I lucked out and could get back to exploring. If you’re a fellow visitor reading this and are looking for a place to go, I would definitely recommend! Very reasonably affordable, stress-free, and friendly.
Pamela Cramer
I was treated with kindness and professionalism both during phone calls about whether I was suited to the vaccination and during my visit to the clinic. Follow up was also perfect. Thank you.
Tess Kokkinou
I visit twice a week to see Andrew Doody at Fleet Street clinic for my back, he has a great bedside manner, he listens and understands when you tell him about your pain. The staff at reception are amazing too very friendly.
Nicola Mulgrew
We went to the clinic to get travel vaccines. We were on an incredibly tight schedule, only in London for the one day, and we were seen with no issues. Later, I ordered anti-malarials by email and received them the next day! Amazing service. Highly recommend.
Vlad Cochintoiu
Had a great experience booking and getting a last minute rapid rabies jab with Fleet Street Clinic! They even booked me in out of hours for my jab because it was the only way to do it before my travels! Thank you to everyone who assisted me.
Andrew Ritchie
I had flu and Covid jabs and saw the GP all in one shot. The booking system is online and easy. The premises are old worldly and comforting. The reception staff are efficient. The nurse was experienced and delightful. I had blood tests done. The GP ordered them and the results came back in 24 hours. Very nice GP too.
Mark Tebbit
On repeated occasions over the last year, I have received A1 treatment from the Fleet Street Clinic. Short-notice appointments, face to face and on the phone, for emergency conditions and quick prescriptions from excellent doctors have helped me enormously. The Reception Team are also highly professional. I couldn't recommend it more strongly.
P Croft
I went for a covid booster vaccination and my experience was excellent. I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment, the lady doing it (Lucy) immediately swallowed the last of her doughnut and took me through. She put me at my ease by chatting pleasantly while she prepared things, and then the jab itself was so quick and painless – I literally didn’t feel a thing, including her applying the plaster afterwards! It was a first class experience, all in the delightful setting of the quaint shop in historic Fleet Street.
