GMC 4615547
Having graduated with a degree in Physiology incorporating psychology and sports science, I became very interested in women’s health. I completed my medicine degree from the University of Glasgow in 1999 then moved into general practice, taking the MRCGP exam at that time. I have since worked in women’s health specifically for 18 years. I love teaching and passing on my passion for women’s health as an honorary clinical lecturer at Glasgow University.

Meet your specialist
Whether you are completely new to (peri)menopause or have been on treatment for years, our specialists make the consultation bespoke to your needs. They will work with you to:
Start treatment
Included in our all-in-one plans:
After your appointment, you will receive a detailed clinic letter that can be shared with your GP. You can choose to access any recommended blood tests and prescriptions with us or via your GP. Up to £90 of your prescription is covered in the all-in-one plan over the course of 3 months. Some treatment plans may exceed £90, and in those cases, you will be charged the excess. However, £90 covers most prescriptions our patients receive, as the average prescription is worth £81. Your medication will then be delivered by the next working day.
You may be recommended any combination of the below:
Access on-going support
Included in our all-in-one plans:
We recommend regular follow-up appointments with the same specialist after starting treatment in order to review progress, discuss test results where relevant, and adjust your care as needed, including discussing testosterone options.
