Dr Alice Oldroyd

From an early stage in my career I took a keen interest in women’s health, having witnessed the impact of hormones on friends, family members, and myself. Since qualifying as a GP in 2014 I have been able to develop this interest, completing further training and education in women’s health. Putting this knowledge into practice has been hugely rewarding. I am passionate about improving services for women and raising awareness of the challenges faced by women experiencing menopausal symptoms.

I live in Worcestershire with my 3 young children and husband. We enjoy regular hikes up the Malvern Hills which are on our doorstep. I also enjoy running which has taken my interest over the last couple of years and has really helped my general wellbeing. I fully understand the juggle of a busy home and work life. I also love exploring new places and am keen to show my girls the world!

I completed by medical degree at the University of Liverpool before moving back to the midlands to be close to my family. I have been a GP around the midlands area for over 10 years so have experience in managing medical complexity. I have completed diplomas with the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health. I am experienced in fitting coils and contraceptive implants, and hold the British Menopause Society Advanced Certificate.

I am particularly interested in hormonal migraine, premature ovarian insufficiency, PMS/PMDD, Testosterone replacement, and the management of menopausal symptoms after breast cancer.
