Thyroid health
Exhausted, gaining weight, feeling cold? Your thyroid could be the reason.
What we treat
Who it's for & what we treat
Thyroid disorders are much more common in women than men, and the symptoms often overlap with other conditions — which means they can be missed. Our GPs can arrange thyroid blood tests, interpret the results, and provide treatment or referral where needed.
- Thyroid function blood tests (TSH, T4, antibodies)
- Diagnosis of hypothyroidism & hyperthyroidism
- Thyroid medication management
- Monitoring & dose adjustments
- Referral to endocrinology when needed
- Pregnancy-related thyroid care
The consult
What happens in the consult
We review your symptoms, medical history and any previous blood test results.
Your GP arranges the appropriate thyroid blood tests at a pathology centre near you.
Results are reviewed with you — if treatment is needed, your GP prescribes and monitors your medication over time.
