Women’s health, seen by a female GP

Some appointments are easier when the person across from you is a woman. A smear test, a coil fitting, a conversation about menopause symptoms — these are not things most women want to sit on a waiting list for.

Dr Emily Arthurs (BSc, MBChB, MRCGP) sees women at our Dunfermline clinic for contraception and coil fitting, HRT and menopause care, heavy periods, and general GP concerns. Appointments are usually available within the week, with no referral needed.

What we see women for

What else Dr Emily Arthurs sees patients for

  • General health check-ups — routine checks and medical advice
  • Acute and chronic conditions — diagnosis and ongoing management
  • Blood tests and health screenings — including cholesterol, diabetes and thyroid

Meet Dr Emily Arthurs

Dr Emily Arthurs has fifteen years in medicine, eight of them as a General Practitioner. Before medicine she completed a Bachelor’s degree in Science with a moderatorship in Neuroscience.

Women’s health is a particular focus of her practice. She is a member of the British Menopause Society and the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare, and has completed the British Menopause Society Management of the Menopause Certificate — a specialist qualification for clinicians with a dedicated interest in menopause care. She is currently working towards the Menopause Care Professional Diploma with the College of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare.

Alongside menopause and HRT, Dr Emily Arthurs fits intrauterine devices (coils) for contraception, for the management of heavy menstrual bleeding, and as part of hormone replacement therapy.

Dr Emily Arthurs sees patients at The Canmore Clinic on Thursdays, from 3 September 2026.

Why women choose to be seen privately

  • Seen within the week — most appointments are available within a week, often sooner
  • Dedicated appointment — with time to discuss your concerns, symptoms and a plan in full
  • A female GP — for coil fittings this matters practically. For menopause and HRT, most women simply prefer it
  • The same doctor — you see Dr Emily Arthurs again at your follow-up
  • Everything in one place — an option of 3 GPs with multiple services, a Consultant Urologist and an Advanced Nurse Practitioner under one roof on Canmore Street

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly with us — there is no need to go through your NHS GP first.

Yes. Dr Emily Arthurs sees patients for general GP concerns as well as women’s health. Just let us know when you book that you would prefer a female GP.

Will my NHS GP be told?

That is your choice. With your consent we will write to your GP so your medical record stays complete, which we would usually recommend. If you would rather we did not, we will not.
