Can I choose to see a male or female doctor?
Both of the founding GPs at The Montague Clinic are male so at present we are unable to offer a consultation with a female GP. If you require a genital examination, one of our nursing team would be available to chaperone if you wish. Please note that currently, the best way for females to provide a sample is a ‘self-swab’. The pick up rate is better with this method compared to when a clinician takes a swab (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5999261/).
