My MenoMate® 〰️ Medical Mentoring 〰️

  • Struggling to be heard in your medical appointment?

  • Bamboozled by media information on menopause and perimenopause?

  • On medications but not sure what for? Or if they’re helping?

Two women sit at a desk, looking at a laptop screen and discussing. One woman has dark, curly hair and is wearing a green top. The other has short, light brown hair with a brown hair clip and is wearing a grey top. There is a bouquet of flowers, including sunflowers, on the desk. In the background, a framed picture hangs on the wall.

Let me help you transform confusion into clarity and control

Changes in attitudes and behaviours from both the patient and the medical profession are going to become ever more important, if we want the NHS to survive.

My Medical Mentor

Two women are sitting at a desk, smiling at each other in an office setting. One woman has dark, curly hair and is wearing glasses and a denim jacket. The other woman has short blonde hair and is wearing a light-colored sweater, taking notes with a pen on a notepad. On the desk, there is a laptop, a box of tissues, and colorful spiky massage balls. A vase of flowers is on the desk, and a picture with photos of seashells and stones hangs on the wall.

How Do Mentoring Consultations Work?

Initial Contact

If you are unsure whether a MenoMate® or Medical Mentor appointment will be beneficial for you, you can book a quick 15 minute chat here

*If you have already seen me in clinic, I will already have taken a full medical history.
Please just book a ‘My MenoMate/Medical Mentor Follow Up’ appointment, as I will already have a lot of your medical history.

Consultation

The initial consultation is the same as a Physical Therapy consultation, where I take a full and detailed medical history including your medications, previous and current health issues, symptoms/issues to be addressed.

We may also play around with words/phrases that you are comfortable with, when talking to your medical team about your issue. (It is not my aim to put words in your mouth!)

After the initial consultation, the research begins. This can take a few days and is all included in your appointment fee. This will include researching the medical guidelines relating to your issue and any medications, gathering information from reputable websites e.g. the NICE guidelines, The British Heart Foundation.

After the Consultation

Once research is completed;

  • you will receive an email with all of the links and information that is relevant to your issue.

  • this will also include the suggested phrases that we came up with during our initial call.

  • If appropriate, we will arrange a follow up appointment for further assistance.

Offering this type of consultation has been a natural extension
of my clinic work.

Medical Mentor and MenoMate® consultations are conducted online however, In-Person appointments can be arranged, if you are able to come into clinic in Edinburgh.
