HELP! Please... :-)?

Question: Hello! I'm Italian and I've just moved in UK, 3 weeks ago. I'm learning how the UK Health system works but I still have some doubts. How I can get my own personal gynecologist? Of course, I mean the one I pay by myself when I need him. My doctor told me about a Sexual Health Centre in my town (sexual health care services) but it is not what I want... it seems that I can go to the SHC only when I have a health problem... what about a periodical visit (to check if everything works properly :-)? Thanks a lot for your help!

Answers:
Here in the UK women have a smear every three years, arranged by your Dr.
I do not know anyone who has their own gynecologist, but if this is something you feel you need, try talking to your Dr about it first. If you don't get the answers you want you may need to go private.
Have a look at these websites to help you choose.

I think you may have to take out a Health Plan with HSA or BUPA.

We don't get personal consultants here, it's just who's there when you need one.

Ask your GP for the nearest Well woman clinic. You can go here and have regular smear tests and discuss any worries or problems. Smear tests are done every 3 years unless you have had previous problems.
