181 - Supporting women’s hormone journey with Dr Samantha Newman
Tuesday Dec 06, 2022
Tuesday Dec 06, 2022
Dr Samantha Newman is a British doctor working in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. After training in obstetrics and gynaecology, a moving encounter with a patient led her to re-train as a GP and develop an interest in supporting women’s health and wellbeing. Samantha’s clinic, FemaleGP, was established in 2016 to improve access to focused healthcare for women including gynaecological and sexual health and treatments for perimenopause and menopause.
In this episode, the experts discuss shared decision making with their patients, symptom improvements with HRT, and supporting women to ‘listen’ to their hormones. Samantha also shares some of her experiences working with women from the Māori community and culture.
Dr Samantha’s three tips:
- See your hormones as a journey and not as separate, distinct phases of life. Find support along the way – wherever in the journey you find yourself.
- For healthcare providers: see your patients as a whole person and as part of their families and find out their true thoughts and desires.
- Be honest with your patients and encourage them to be honest with you. If they haven’t taken your advice, revisit things and find out what didn’t align with their values rather than viewing it as a negative.
