Clinical Advisor for Women’s Health Companies
I work with founders, brands and teams building products and services in women’s health, bringing a practising doctor’s judgement to the claims you make, the content you publish and the product decisions your users will live with.
Women’s health is full of products people rely on at vulnerable moments, and full of confident claims the evidence doesn’t always support. A practising clinician’s eye early in the process protects your users, your credibility with investors and press, and your relationship with the regulators and journalists who will eventually read your marketing.

What I do
Companies bring me in to review product and marketing claims against the current evidence, to shape medical content so it informs without overpromising, and to bring a clinician’s perspective into product decisions. My clinical input can optimise your product or app so it is more likely to be recommended by healthcare professionals, which opens up a wider market than marketing alone can reach.
I know what patients ask, where they get confused, and what they need a product like yours to explain clearly. I also lend a clinical voice to launches, campaigns and press, on the strict understanding that my name only goes on work I have reviewed and on wording that I endorse.
Why me
I’m an NHS obstetrics and gynaecology doctor with published research in high-risk obstetrics and minimally invasive gynaecology, and the educator behind @theobgynmum, reaching more than 150,000 people. I’ve sat on clinician advisory panels guiding health content and policy at YouTube, TikTok and Meta, and I create digital content for the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists and NHS England. Whilst on retainer as a clinical expert with Smart About Health, I co-developed workplace fertility and menopause guides and policies with Ocado’s HR team and delivered masterclasses for organisations including Sky.
How I work

A single review of your product or marketing claims before launch.
