How Good Is The BUPA Menopause Plan?

I have been thinking today that I'm not getting the support via the NHS menopause clinic since my estrogen implant was stopped that I should with my surgical menopause - I recently posted about this in another thread (my GP tbf has been trying, but it's clear she has some real knowledge gaps).

I feel I might like to try the BUPA Menopause Plan - I was previously looking at Dr. Naomi Potter's new satellite clinic near me but didn't feel the doctor they have is as well trained as she should be for the fee (she's still studying for her BMS diploma), so cancelled the appointment I booked with them. I've also looked into Newson Health but would prefer to be seen face to face and I live in Scotland, so would not be doable. If any of you have used the BUPA service, how did you find your experience please?

@Lnon thanks, that’s helpful - I’m tempted to go for it to be able to have time with a doc.

I used the BUPA service as it's covered by my plan. It was good - definitely listened to me & clearly had better medication experience and knowledge which went beyond that of the private gynae I had seen. It shouldn't cost £300 mind you...
