Tell us about your experience in women’s health
I'm a London-based GP with experience across both NHS and private practice, currently leading the women’s health service at Greenwich Private Doctors. I have a particular interest in postpartum recovery, shaped by my own journey as a mother of four, and I’m passionate about supporting women through the physical and emotional changes that come with pregnancy and early motherhood. I also have a strong personal and professional interest in strength training, not only for recovery and confidence, but for how it helps protect women’s bones and muscles, particularly as they transition through the menopause.
What one piece of advice would you give to our audience?
Pay close attention to how your body feels and don’t dismiss changes, even if they seem small. Your health deserves time and space, and it’s okay to ask questions or seek clarity if something doesn’t feel right. Trust your instincts, your concerns are valid, and you’re allowed to advocate for yourself in any healthcare setting. Good care starts with being heard.
What is missing from the current conversation around women's health?
The intersection between race and women’s health. Black and minority ethnic women often face additional barriers to care and poorer outcomes, and these disparities are still not addressed enough in mainstream conversations. There’s more work to be done to make women’s health truly inclusive, representative, and equitable.
