International Women’s Day: Spotlight on women’s health

On International Women’s Day, and in fact every day of the year, the team at YourGP are here to help women like you look after your health so you can feel your best and get the most out of life. And we’re here for you, whatever stage in life you’re at.

General health and wellbeing

If you have a specific health concern, it’s never been easier to book an appointment at YourGP. We have two conveniently located practices – on Edinburgh’s Dundas Street and within the Dean Village, and short notice appointments are always available. Plus, we put you in control – allowing you to choose extended appointments if you’d like extra time to discuss any health concerns. We offer a fast turnaround of results and we endeavour to make every appointment as relaxed and welcoming as possible. We also offer comprehensive health assessments if you’d like to get a general overview of your health and advice from our experts on how to boost your overall health and wellbeing.

Occupational health

For anyone looking to get ahead in their career, it’s important that your health and safety in the workplace is protected. That’s why YourGP works with a wide range of businesses and organisations to offer a range of bespoke occupational healthcare packages.

Sexual health

From contraceptive pill prescriptions to coil fitting, countless women rely on our friendly and experienced GPs to provide expert advice and recommendations so they can enjoy a safe and healthy sex life. We also offer comprehensive sexual health checks, with full discretion guaranteed.

Pregnancy support

Whether you’re looking for advice on how to maximise your chances of getting pregnant, or you’d like to chat to a doctor about the lifestyle changes you can make to feel healthy, strong and positive ahead of your birth, our team are here to support you during this important time.

Family life

Those first few weeks and months of adjusting to motherhood can bring with them many worries. Whatever your concern, whether it’s about your child or yourself, we’re here to offer immediate help. We also provide a range of childhood vaccinations within a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Menopause support

The peri-menopause and menopause years are a time of many changes – some of which can be confusing and unpredictable. But our specialist menopause consultations offer you the opportunity to openly discuss the various ways your menopause journey is affecting you. We can then work with you to formulate a tailor-made plan with the aim to make your menopause experience as positive as possible.

Later life

We’re firm believers in the power of staying fit and active later in life. And that’s one reason why we offer joint injections, so you can be free from the pain that’s holding you back, enabling you to continue to do the things you love.

All brought to you by a team of dedicated medical experts

Some women feel more comfortable speaking about their health concerns with a female doctor. We completely understand and we are happy to accommodate this. Our team includes GPs and nurses with a wealth of knowledge, experience and understanding about issues relating to women’s health. So whatever your concern, book your appointment today using our simple online booking system. Or you can email reception@your.gp, or call us on 0131 381 0322 and we’ll be happy to arrange an appointment at a time that suits you.
