Frequently Asked Questions
About The Pink Clinic
Is The Pink Clinic different from seeing my GP?
Yes. A standard GP appointment is typically 15 minutes and covers everything. At The Pink Clinic, your appointment is dedicated entirely to your menstrual and reproductive health, with 40 minutes for a first consultation, and a clinician whose focus is women's health.
Do I need a referral to book?
No. You can book directly without a GP referral.
Can you actually prescribe medications?
Yes. An Endorsed Nurse Practitioner has full prescribing authority within their scope of practice, including contraception and other relevant medications. You will not be sent elsewhere just to get a prescription.
About Your Care
I've been told my results are normal but I still feel terrible. Can you help me?
This is one of the most common things we hear. Standard blood tests don't always capture the full picture of menstrual and hormonal health, and normal on a lab report doesn't mean you should feel the way you do. At The Pink Clinic, your lived experience is treated as clinical information. We take the whole picture seriously.
What happens in my first appointment?
Your initial consultation is 40 minutes. We'll go through your full history, symptoms, cycles, previous treatments and investigations, and develop a personalised management plan together. Where needed, we'll arrange pathology or refer to other specialists. You'll leave with a clear plan and a clinician who knows your story.
Will you communicate with my GP?
Yes, always. After every consultation we send a detailed letter to your GP keeping them informed of your care. This supports continuity and means your whole health team is on the same page.
