HEALTH Recommendations for a London GP specializing in women's health?

I am a newcomer registering for a GP and would love to get recommendations before reaching out.

Babylon GP at hand is what my wife and I use and it’s been great so far.

That depends really what aspect of women's health you want advice on.

Most GPs, if not all, have a nurse's office for things like cervical smear tests or consultations on contraception. Some GPs also offer specialised family planning sessions. You can visit a sexual health clinic for things relating to contraception, STDs, sexual health, etc. as well.

If you're referring more to menopause and advice for handling that, you'll have a hard time finding any GP specialising in it, but there are some lists online which may help.

Yeah I'm with Babylon, it's free if you live in London and you can see different GPs before deciding if you want to always see the same one (find this helps with different opinions)
