What do I need to prepare for my initial consultation?
Medical history
List of medications
Ensure the medical questionnaire and informed consent for BHRT form in your appointment confirmation email has been completed beforehand.
If you have a pelvic ultrasound scan and / or mammogram dated within the last year, please do send them as a PDF document to erimmer@lpa.london before your Initial Consultation.
If you have expressed a preference for Zoom, the link will be sent to you on receipt of your booking fee. Your initial consultation will last 45-60 minutes and is very comprehensive. Elizabeth will be there to listen to your concerns and find out how you are feeling. You will discuss your medical history, symptoms, goals, and the importance of hormone balance. She will also introduce you to BHRT and explain how it may help restore your hormone health.
During your consultation, Elizabeth will recommend the blood tests you need and ask Lorraine to make contact with you to arrange. There is no need to bring any paperwork to the clinic – that will all be done for you. She would also advise if you would benefit from any other investigations.
Results Appointment
Your Results Appointment will be over the phone or via video call (according to your preference) once the results of any blood tests and investigations are received.
During your results consultation Elizabeth will explain to you the findings of your consultation combined with any blood test results, and review any issues. She will advise on medications, supplementation and lifestyle changes, tailored to your symptoms.
Elizabeth will discuss your personalised treatment plan and the options for bespoke medication tailored to your needs. She will also issue your prescription(s), which will be sent directly to Specialist Pharmacy and the medication sent out to you.

What else do I need to know?
In the event of prescribing medication, we must inform your GP and we therefore do require that you allow permission for this. This is an insurance requirement and we will not be able to prescribe without this.
You must have a review at least every 6 months with blood tests in order to continue with any prescribed medication.
If you have not been by us for over a year, you will need to make an initial consultation booking rather than a follow up.
What is the difference between BHRT & standard HRT?
Bioidentical hormones are used in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and have an identical chemical structure to the naturally occurring hormones which are produced in the body. These differ from synthetic hormones used in traditional HRT.
