Specialist Doctor or Specialist Nurse?

It is common to be unsure who might be best to see; a doctor or nurse. We are always happy to assist. The bottom line is that doctors have more training to deal with complex diagnosis and management. However, specialist nurses often have greater experience in some clinical areas. 

 

Both our nurse and doctor will:

 

Listen to you

Understand you

Explain what is happening

Assess what you need

Create a treatment plan based around you

Prescribe medications

Signpost to other services

Share your treatment plan with NHS services

Both have British Menopause Association Accreditation

 

How do they differ?

Dr Helen Bedford

As a GP, Helen is highly experienced in medical complexity.  Helen can assess and treat all problems, no matter how big or small you may think they are. We would advise specifically seeing Helen if you think your symptoms may be due to another long term medical condition, but want to explore whether menopause might be part of the picture. Or if you have more than one other long term condition or are on multiple medications. 

Elizabeth Ludvigsen

Elizabeth’s is a highly experienced nurse, working in NHS general practice. She can assess and treat all patients presenting with symptoms due to perimenopause or menopause. With her  hospital experience with breast cancer, we would advise seeing Elizabeth if breast cancer is a particular concern, or you have a history of breast cancer. We would also suggest seeing her if you have gone through menopause due to chemotherapy or other cancer treatment.
