Lexie Minter
Nurse prescriber.
I have been a nurse for over 20 years. I have worked in Accident and Emergency, Occupational Health, Midwifery and Primary Care. Women's health has been a career interest and a passion for me. Empowering women is fundamental to what I do as a clinician. 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.
Qualifications - BSc Nursing, BSc Midwifery, Specialist qualification in Emergency Care, Independent Nurse Prescriber.
I will mostly prescribe transdermal oestrogen in a gel or a patch and micronised progesterone (utrogestan) as the HRT of choice. The testosterone will be Androfemme.

Top tips
- Vaginal oestrogen is like a facial for your vagina.
- It will take some time to get your dosage right and regular reviews will help to achieve the right balance.
- When using HRT, separate your oestrogen and progesterone initially so you can work out the combination that works for you.
I am well supported by a Consultant who is a great resource and has extensive experience as a clinician.
