No. WellFemme’s menopause specialists are GP’s with a passion for helping women in midlife. They devote a large proportion of their practice to this area, gaining additional experience and skills along the way. WellFemme clients therefore benefit from both their specialised knowledge and their accessibility… no referral required!

In most cases the answer is overwhelming YES. Our WellFemme menopause specialists are GP’s too, with additional training and experience in dealing with menopause-related issues. If you can visit a great GP who is confident in managing your menopausal symptoms then that is the very best solution. Unfortunately, not all women have a regular GP or can easily travel to visit one, or have a GP who is comfortable treating menopausal symptoms; helping these women is what WellFemme is all about.
