Beth is an Independent Nurse Prescriber with a special interest in the menopause and hormone health. She has specialised in women’s health in primary care for 16 years.

Beth has a personal appreciation of how changing hormone levels can impact both physical and mental health after going through her own perimenopause journey.

Beth believes in empowering women with knowledge and understanding, so they can make informed choices based on the latest research and treatment standards. She is committed to creating shared care agreements with her patients and is focused on putting the patient at the centre of their individual care programme.
