Welcome to It’s Not Just A Period!
This week Alexandra is joined by Dr Hazel Parkinson, General Practitioner and Aesthetics Doctor to discuss all things women’s health.
Dr Hazel walks us through her medical training, the years she spent working in general practice and the dramatic changes she’s seen within the NHS when it comes to demands, attitudes and patient care.
She shares shocking stories of medical misogyny, how she left the NHS to avoid burnout and why community gynaecology hubs are making all the difference to local women.
Alexandra and Dr Hazel discuss the common skin conditions women suffer with, the influence of social media on skin anxiety and how greater regulation is desperately needed in the aesthetics industry.
