Dr Samina Javaid (MBBS FRCOG MSc PGCert Med Ed), a Consultant Gynaecologist at Royal Derby Hospital. After graduation in 1994, I went through Specialist Structured Training in Gynaecology & Obstetrics to obtain CCT (Certificate of Completion of Training) in 2006 and my consultant career began shortly thereafter. With over 25 years of experience in women’s health I manage women with a variety of gynaecological disorders including menstrual problems, PCOS, Premenstrual Tension etc. I feel women in perimenopause and menopause often do not get recognition and support for their physical and psychological symptoms that mean many of them do not lead lives to its full potential. I am a keen listener too and you will get my greatest empathy because I have experienced many of these symptoms myself! I prioritize a personalized approach, considering your medical history and preferences to devise the most suitable treatment plan tailored to suit you. My goal is to improve your quality of life and well being.
