🔎 What’s Included

✅ Why This Is Better Than NHS
-
Steroid-Specific Screening: NHS does not offer echocardiograms, liver scans, or hormone testing unless significant disease is already present.
-
Confidential, Non-Judgmental Care: Delivered by a GP who understands PED use and provides safe, supportive monitoring.
-
Preventative and Protective: Aimed at identifying risks before they become serious health issues.

Our role is to support your health, reduce risks, and provide medical guidance. For those wishing to stop, advice and ongoing care are available.
