Dr Helen Winpenny

As a single parent to two fabulous daughters I am well aware of the stresses that women face at different stages of their lives, and the additional challenges that menopause can bring.

In my spare time when not exercising I enjoy reading, drinking coffee with friends, and learning to speak Italian.

I always wanted to be a GP, and trained in London gaining a degree in pharmacology and then a distinction in my medical degree, before completing my training as a GP in South London.

I worked for several years as a clinical lecturer in General Practice in London before moving to Oxfordshire where I continue to work in the NHS. My clinical interests have always been in women’s health.

I have worked in the private sector as a menopause doctor for over 4 years, and continue to work as a GP in the NHS which I have done for the last 29 years. I hold the British Menopause Society Advanced Certificate in Menopause Care.
