‘’I can’t say I’m a regular visitor to the doctors (luckily), however I must say, any interactions I have had with staff by phone or in person have been super friendly and efficient. A fantastic service provided on a recent visit by Advanced Nurse Practitioner Gillian. Great knowledge and advice provided regarding peri-menopause symptoms and treatment options. I felt very supported and listened to.’’
