MENOPAUSE MEDICAL

Claire Turnbull is the Founder and Director of Menopause Medical Hexham. A clinic created from her belief that women deserve compassionate, informed, and accessible support during one of the most important transitions in their lives.
With more than 30 years of experience working within GP practices as a Healthcare Assistant, Claire has dedicated her career to supporting patients with lifestyle advice, wellbeing guidance, and hands-on clinical care. Her work has included everything from chronic disease management and women’s health support to phlebotomy, ECGs, vaccinations, health checks, wound care, and specialist weight-management guidance.
Through her work in both primary care Claire developed a deep understanding of women's health needs and saw first-hand how many women were struggling to access the menopause care they deserved. This insight, combined with her personal passion for the subject, inspired her to bring together a specialist team and create a dedicated clinic for women in Hexham and beyond.
At Menopause Medical, Claire plays a supporting role helping the team help women with lifestyle and wellbeing advice, helping them understand their symptoms, and ensuring every patient feels heard, respected, and supported. Her focus is always on the team providing compassionate, evidence-based guidance that empowers women to take control of their health and feel confident in their own bodies again.

Claire’s vision, and her belief that women deserve better, is the heart of this clinic.
