Comprehensive Women’s Health Services in Black Rock and Surrounding Areas
Your health is as unique as you are, and at The Village GP, we’re committed to a personalised approach to women’s healthcare. Whether it’s routine check-ups or specialised treatments, our aim is to help you stay healthy, confident, and empowered throughout every stage of life.
We recommend regular check-ups at least every two years to help detect any potential health concerns early. Our comprehensive women’s health services include:
Cervical screening tests (formerly Pap smears)
Breast examinations
Menopause and perimenopause management
Contraceptive advice and family planning
Prenatal care and support
Whether you’re just starting your journey into adulthood or managing the changes of midlife, we’re here to support and guide you every step of the way.
This commitment comes from a deeply personal place — many of our staff, including The Village Blackrock GP owner, Dr Maureen Burke, are themselves patients of doctors. This shared experience inspires us all to provide the same level of care, attentiveness, and compassion that we would want for ourselves and our loved ones.
With considerable experience supporting women through menopause and perimenopause, some of our doctors and staff have developed specialised knowledge to better serve you. One example of this is our dedicated Menopause Program, designed to offer tailored care for this important phase of life.
Menopause Management – Compassionate Care for Women in Black Rock, Beaumaris, Sandringham, and Cheltenham
Menopause is a major milestone in a woman’s life, but it can also bring new health challenges. At The Village GP, we understand how overwhelming this phase can be, and that’s why we’ve developed a Menopause Program to support women.
Our menopause program is designed to provide you with expert care and practical solutions for managing your symptoms. Here’s how it works:
- Pre-visit questionnaire: To tailor your care, we send you four simple questionnaires to fill out before your first appointment. These help us understand your symptoms, health history, and concerns.
- First appointment: You’ll meet with our experienced nurse, followed by a detailed consultation with your GP. During this time, we’ll discuss any symptoms you’re experiencing and review your health history. If needed, we can perform a Cervical Screening Test during this visit.
- Second appointment: About two weeks later, you’ll come back for a follow-up to discuss your results and treatment options, including Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) if recommended.
But it doesn’t end there. If we discover any additional health issues, such as insomnia, depression, or heart disease, are discovered, we will book a third appointment with you. During your third appointment, your Physician will then discuss such care options as prescribing a Mental Health Care Plan or having you speak with a cardiologist.
The important thing to remember here is that everything you are going through during this phase of your life is totally normal. After all, you are entering a new phase of life, and it’s totally natural to feel overwhelmed. Even though you may feel totally alone at times, we assure you that you aren’t. As patients of The Village Blackrock GP, we are with you for the long haul. We’ll be by your side and provide a helping hand for as long as you allow us to be.
