GP and Menopause Specialist

Raquel graduated from The University of Manchester in 2005 and completed her foundation training there. Raquel and her husband subsequently spent 3 years in Christchurch, New Zealand where Raquel worked initially in the hospital followed by a 24-hour GP Centre. Raquel returned to the UK in 2010 to complete her GP training and now works as a GP in Dorset. In addition to her clinical work, Raquel works alongside 2 other GPs as one of the Named Safeguarding GPs for adults and children in Dorset.

Through her GP work, her interest in women’s health and the menopause developed. She is passionate about improving care for women and furthering her understanding of the perimenopause and menopause, and the impact it can have on women. She has completed Louise Newson’s Confidence in Menopause course and continues to take on opportunities to further her knowledge in this area. Raquel is excited to be joining the Newson Health team and looks forward to supporting and advocating for women on their menopause journey.

Raquel lives in Dorset with her husband, 3 children, and Cavapoo puppy. In her spare time, she loves to do cold water swimming in the sea, walking their dog along the beach, and road biking.

You can see Raquel at our Bournemouth clinic for an in person appointment.
