Dr Karen Aitken, specialist in surgical menopause

GMC 4615547

Having graduated with a degree in Physiology incorporating psychology and sports science, I became very interested in women’s health. I completed my medicine degree from the University of Glasgow in 1999 then moved into general practice, taking the MRCGP exam at that time. I have since worked in women’s health specifically for 18 years, with specialist interests in surgical menopause and cancer. I love teaching and passing on my passion for women’s health as an honorary clinical lecturer at Glasgow University.
