Who it's for & what we treat

The consult
What happens in the consult
We discuss your current method (if any), what's working and what isn't, and your goals.
Your GP explains your options and helps you choose a method that's right for you.
Where appropriate, a script is sent digitally to your pharmacy — and we can arrange ongoing renewals so you never run out.
