ABOUT

Minter et Al was born from a desire to improve access for women seeking diagnosis and treatment of perimenopause and the menopause. Empowering women is fundamental to what we do as a clinicians.
​
We strongly believe in the clinician - client relationship. We don't take any shortcuts in reaching a diagnosis. 

Knowledge and judgement remain central to ensuring you get the most appropriate treatment. We don't prescribe anything just on the basis of a questionnaire. We listen, we get to know your needs, then we come to a joint agreement of how to proceed.

Every woman's past history and current symptoms are different. That is why we tailor every treatment to your personal needs.

We're here to help you - Be the Best You.​

​FOUNDING TEAM

Lexie Minter
​BSc. Nursing, BSc. Midwifery

 Nurse Prescriber

I have been a nurse for over 20 years.  I have worked in Accident and Emergency, Occupational Health, Midwifery, Investment banking/ Corporate Health and Primary Care. Women's health ​has been a career interest and a passion for me.    I have extensive knowledge of the NHS and the Private sector which helps me navigate patients through the systems they can access.  I firmly believe as a nurse my job is to provide individualised patient care and to advocate for my patients.

I will discuss your specific requirements and may offer transdermal oestrogen in a gel or a patch and micronised progesterone (utrogestan) where HRT is needed. The testosterone we most commonly use is Androfemme. It may take some time to get your dosage right and regular reviews will help to achieve the right balance. When using HRT, we may separate your oestrogen and progesterone initially so you can work out the combination that works for you.
