We can offer holistic Menopause care for you

At YourGP we can offer all women a holistic discussion around the aspects of the menopause and perimenopause that are impacting on your personal wellbeing. Our enthusiastic GPs with a special interest in this area of medicine, Dr McDermott and Dr Loudon, will provide you with the care, understanding and support that you require during what can be a very challenging period of your life. Our initial assessment lasts up to 45 minutes, during this appointment we will explore the various ways that your menopause journey is affecting you. We can then work with you to formulate a tailor-made plan with the aim that your menopause experience will be a positive experience.

Dr Margo McDermott qualified as a GP in Edinburgh in 2001 and has over 20 years of experience in Menopause care. She is skilled in prescribing all HRT hormones that are recommended for prescription in the UK by The British Menopause Society. This includes experience in prescription of Testosterone therapy as an addition to Oestrogen and Progesterone prescribing. Margo is an active member of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine. She is passionate about helping you to understand how your lifestyle can influence your wellbeing during this period in your life.

Dr Joanna Loudon has always been passionate about women’s health, and undertaking a job in gynaecology as a junior doctor helped to cement this interest. She enjoys the challenge that menopause care provides due to it being a constantly evolving area of medicine, and has undertaken both the Menopause Special Skills Course, and FourteenFish Confidence in Menopause Course to keep her knowledge up to date. She particularly enjoys working in partnership with women and providing patient-centred care to enable you to improve your long-term health and wellbeing.
