HRT Prescribing & Personalisation
We select the right type, dose, and delivery method of HRT for you , whether patches, gels, tablets, vaginal oestrogen, or implants , and adjust over time for optimal effect.
Ongoing Monitoring & Support
Regular follow-up appointments, blood tests, and open communication ensure your treatment stays safe, effective, and adapted as your needs evolve through every stage of menopause.
Our Commitment
Together, comprehensive assessment, personalised prescribing, and ongoing monitoring deliver a menopause care programme that is safe, effective, and centred entirely on you.
What to Expect
Your Menopause Journey
Initial Consultation
Book a private appointment with one of our experienced doctors. No referral is needed. We take time to understand your full symptom picture, medical history, and treatment goals.
Symptom Review & Blood Tests
Your doctor will carry out a thorough symptom assessment and arrange baseline blood tests including FSH, oestradiol, and thyroid function to inform your personalised treatment plan.
HRT Prescription
Based on your assessment and preferences, we prescribe the most suitable form and dose of HRT, explaining how and when to take it, what to expect, and how to contact us with any concerns.
Monitoring & Adjustment
Follow-up reviews at 3 months and annually thereafter allow us to fine-tune your prescription, monitor safety, review blood results, and support you through every transition.
Benefits of HRT
Reduces Hot Flushes
HRT is the most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms. Most women experience a significant reduction in hot flushes and night sweats within weeks of starting treatment.
Improves Sleep
By reducing night sweats and regulating hormonal fluctuations, HRT helps restore healthy sleep patterns, leaving you more rested and refreshed each morning.
Mood & Mental Wellbeing
Hormonal imbalance during menopause can cause anxiety, low mood, and irritability. HRT can significantly stabilise mood and restore emotional equilibrium and mental clarity.
Protects Bone Density
Oestrogen plays a key role in maintaining bone strength. HRT helps prevent the accelerated bone loss that occurs after menopause, significantly reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Improves Libido
Low oestrogen and testosterone during menopause can significantly reduce sexual desire. Hormone replacement, including testosterone where indicated, can restore libido and sexual wellbeing.
Expert Ongoing Support
Our doctors provide continuous, personalised care , adjusting your treatment, reviewing blood results, and supporting you through every stage of your menopause journey.

What We Help With
Symptoms We Treat
Hot Flushes & Night Sweats
The most common menopause symptom, caused by hormonal changes affecting the body's temperature regulation. HRT is the most effective treatment available.
Sleep Disturbance
Night sweats, anxiety, and hormonal fluctuations disrupt sleep for many menopausal women. Restoring hormonal balance with HRT often leads to significant sleep improvement.
Mood Changes & Anxiety
Declining oestrogen affects neurotransmitter function, contributing to low mood, anxiety, tearfulness, and irritability. HRT can restore emotional balance for many women.
Brain Fog
Difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, and mental fatigue are common in perimenopause and menopause. Oestrogen supports brain function, and HRT can help restore cognitive clarity.
Low Libido
Reduced sexual desire affects many women going through menopause. Oestrogen and testosterone therapy can restore libido and improve sexual wellbeing and comfort.
Joint Aches
Many women experience joint pain and stiffness during menopause. Oestrogen has an anti-inflammatory effect on joints, and HRT can provide meaningful relief for musculoskeletal symptoms.
Vaginal Dryness
Low oestrogen causes vaginal atrophy, leading to dryness, discomfort, and pain during intercourse. Local vaginal oestrogen is highly effective and safe for most women.

Frequently Asked Questions
HRT is typically considered for women experiencing moderate to severe menopause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, brain fog, sleep disturbance, vaginal dryness, and reduced libido. During your consultation, your doctor will take a full symptom history, discuss your medical background, and assess whether HRT is appropriate for you , and if so, which type and dose would suit you best.
For most women, the benefits of HRT significantly outweigh the risks when prescribed appropriately. Modern HRT, particularly body-identical preparations, has an excellent safety profile. Your doctor will review your personal and family medical history to identify any contraindications and select the safest formulation for you. HRT is not suitable for all women, and this will be discussed openly and honestly at your consultation.
No referral is required. You can book directly with The One Clinic. If specialist gynaecological input is needed , for example, for complex menopause cases or concerns requiring further investigation , we will arrange this referral promptly on your behalf.
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, during which oestrogen levels begin to fluctuate and symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flushes, and mood changes may begin. Menopause is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a period. Both stages can be effectively managed with HRT and lifestyle support.
This depends on your individual situation and the type of breast cancer you had. For most women with a history of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, systemic HRT is generally not recommended. However, local vaginal oestrogen may still be an option. Our doctors will discuss your history in detail and, where appropriate, liaise with your oncologist before making any prescribing decision.
