Dr Sally Doust been an NHS doctor for 13 years. She qualified as a GP but quickly realised that women's health was her calling as she saw how women were being hugely let down by gaps in research and the way their health was approached.

Dr Sally has delivered menopause care and women’s health specialist care in NHS clinics and women’s health hubs and trains other doctors and nurses in menopause care. In particular, she’s interested in the areas that are still less talked about or difficult to get care for – perimenopause when you’re young, PMDD/PMS, sexual wellbeing and testosterone therapy.

She’s currently working as a menopause specialist with Voy, as a tutor at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, and with women refugees; I am also a UN Women delegate.
