Meet Dr. Gillian Jackson

Our healthcare system is currently doing a terrible disservice to women across the nation.

Politicians have sacrificed continuity and high quality outcomes of care for increased ‘access’ – yet this just translates to seeing a different hurried clinician every time, waiting in an endless phone queue or scrambling for an appointment via an online portal while you try to get the kids to school and yourself out to work.

How has it become so difficult to see the right doctor for you, at a time you can schedule around your already busy life?

Your health—and this clinic—really matters to me.  I’m determined for every woman to have access to a doctor she can trust, build a rapport with and see more than once – at a time that is convenient to her.

Since 2009, I’ve been qualified as a doctor and seen thousands of women struggling with all sorts of ‘normalised’ symptoms during my time as a Junior doctor in obstetrics and gynaecology and more recently as a GP. Heavy bleeding, intractable anxiety, brain fog, painful sex, recurrent thrush and UTI- to name a few.

“That’s just your age” or, “That’s being a woman for you” we’re told- but that is not OK!

We should not be normalising symptoms that are present in HALF the population- they should be addressed for what they are and treated as serious health problems that can be FIXED.

It’s time for change, let’s make a NEW NORMAL.
