I’m Dr Brooke Vandermolen, an NHS obstetrics and gynaecology doctor and author of Bloody Powerful (Cambridge University Press). I’m undertaking a fellowship in robotic gynaecological surgery, with published research in high-risk obstetrics and minimally invasive gynaecology, and specialist experience in paediatric and adolescent gynaecology. I am an experienced keynote speaker, advisor to health tech and startups, and medical communicator. I’m here to share information so that decisions about women’s health, whether for your own care, in policy, or in new products and businesses targeting women, are based on evidence and guided by experience.
