Private HRT Service at Bramley Pharmacy

At Bramley Pharmacy, we offer a Private HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) Service designed to help you manage the symptoms of menopause with personalized care. Whether you’re experiencing perimenopause or menopause, our expert team is here to guide you through the process, providing safe and effective treatments.

How We Can Help You with HRT

Our Private HRT Service includes a comprehensive approach to diagnosing, prescribing, and monitoring your hormone therapy. Here’s how we support you at every stage of your HRT journey:

1. Diagnosis with Blood Tests
   The first step in starting your HRT treatment is to ensure we have accurate and up-to-date information about your hormone levels. We offer blood tests to measure key hormone levels, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, among others. This helps us tailor your treatment plan specifically to your needs.

   • Blood Tests: These are an additional cost and will be discussed with you during the consultation. We’ll only order the tests that are necessary for your treatment, ensuring that you’re not paying for unnecessary procedures.

   • Interpreting GP Results: If you’ve already had blood tests through your GP and would like to transfer those results to us, we can help. We charge a £25 fee for interpreting GP results and incorporating them into your HRT treatment plan.

2. Personalized HRT Treatment Plan
   After reviewing your blood test results, we’ll work with you to create a personalized HRT treatment plan. We offer various forms of HRT, including:

   • Tablets

   • Patches

   • Gels

   Our pharmacist will discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history to recommend the best medication for you. Whether you’re looking to alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, or other menopause-related symptoms, we ensure that the therapy chosen is safe and effective for your individual needs.

3. Monitoring and Ongoing Support
   Once your HRT treatment is underway, we will continue to monitor your progress through regular blood tests and consultations. This allows us to adjust your dosage or change medications as needed to ensure you receive the most effective treatment possible.

   Monitoring also includes assessing your general health, including blood pressure, BMI, and other key measures to ensure that your treatment is having a positive effect on your overall well-being.

4. Repeat Prescriptions
   After your initial consultation and treatment plan, you will need repeat prescriptions to continue your HRT therapy.

   • The fee for a repeat prescription is £50 per consultation.

   • Repeat prescriptions are generally issued every 1 to 3 months, depending on your treatment needs and progress.

   • Please note that the medication itself is separate from the consultation and repeat prescription costs.

Costs and Payment

• Consultation: £150 per consultation. This includes a full assessment, diagnosis, and creation of your personalized HRT treatment plan.

• Blood Tests: Blood tests are charged separately and will be discussed with you on the day of your consultation. The number of tests required will depend on your symptoms and medical history.

• Interpreting GP Results: We charge a £25 fee to interpret GP results and integrate them into your treatment plan.

• Medications: The cost of HRT medications is additional and varies depending on the treatment prescribed.

• Repeat Prescription Fee: £50 per prescription review. This includes a 15-minute consultation to assess your ongoing treatment and needs.
