*******************************

Dr Naomi Potter has worked in the NHS for 16 years. She

gained experience in several large London teaching hospitals including St Mary's

Paddington and the Royal Free. She worked in the fields of Obstetrics and

Gynaecology under Professor Lesley Regan, Accident and Emergency Medicine,

Psychiatry and General Practice and is a Member of the Royal College of General

Practitioners. She worked as a GP for 9 years in South West London and Surrey. During

this time, she became more focused on and passionate about women's health and

in particular menopause care as it became apparent management in primary care was

poor and outdated and access to good specialist care was scarce.

She was awarded the British Menopause Society specialist Advanced

certificate in menopause care after completing training under the supervision

of Nick Panay (former chair of the British Menopause Society). She has

subsequently established a private menopause clinic dedicated to excellence

in menopause care. Her areas of expertise include menopause and Hormone

Replacement Therapy using body-identical hormones, early menopause, surgical menopause and primary ovarian insufficiency (POI).

Her years and breadth of experience as a GP plus her specialist training mean that

she is fully equipped to treat menopause alongside other co-morbidities

including mental health issues, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, migraine, patients

with breast cancer or with strong family histories, and metabolic issues.

Dr Potter has Bachelor of Science and Master of Science

degrees in Psychology from the University of Nottingham. She graduated from the

University of London in 2003 with Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery

degrees and became a fully registered doctor in August 2004. Her interest in

Women's Health stemmed from her medical undergraduate career when she

co-authored and published a textbook on Obstetrics and Gynaecology. She is a

Diplomate of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Faculty of

Sexual and Reproductive Health. She also has a membership of the Royal College

of General Practitioners, General Medical Council, British Medical Association

and British Menopause Society.

She prides herself on excellence in listening to and understanding her

patients' concerns and preferences in a warm compassionate sensitive manner. Dr Potter is fully understanding of the

holistic nature of menopause care and wishes of patients. She is experienced in

the use of complementary therapies including natural therapies and

psychological intervention.

Alongside

her professional work, she has an interest in running, cycling and travel.

She has run a number of half marathons, completed the Prudential 100-mile bike

ride and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for charities. She has a large family of 5 children including

a set of twins. She therefore fully empathises with the challenges women in

their midlife face. Her patients find her empathic, warm, understanding and

compassionate.

She has written articles

on women's health and general medical issues for a number of national

publications. She was a monthly contributor to Weight Watchers magazine and

Stella Magazine (the Weekly Sunday Telegraph magazine), Now magazine, Daily

Express , Mother and Baby magazine and the Daily Mail.
