“Because women deserve more than 10 minutes.”

After 18 years working in the NHS, including 14 years as a GP, I’ve developed a deep understanding of just how complex and individual women’s health can be. I’m passionate about supporting women, but I’ve come to realise that a standard 10-minute appointment is rarely enough, for me as a clinician, and certainly for you as a patient.

Women don’t present as textbook cases. Symptoms are often interconnected, evolving, and unique to each individual. Every journey is personal, and you deserve the time and space to explore that fully.

That’s why I offer longer, unhurried appointments of up to 45 minutes for menopause and perimenopause consultations, alongside shorter GP appointments for more specific concerns, always with a holistic approach.

You will always see me, ensuring true continuity of care. Where appropriate, I can arrange further investigations, including blood tests, and offer screening such as private cervical smears.

If you’re looking for a more personal, supportive approach, where your doctor is just the other side of an email, I’d be delighted to help.

I offer online consultations across the UK, as well as in-person appointments from my beautiful clinic in the Warwickshire countryside.

PCOS is getting a new name - and it actually matters.

“Polycystic o***y syndrome” doesn’t reflect the full condition. Many people don’t even have cysts, and the name has contributed to confusion, delayed diagnosis, and stigma.

The proposed name:Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)

✔️ Recognises it as a multisystem condition
✔️ Highlights hormonal + metabolic involvement
✔️ Aims to improve diagnosis and care

This change comes from a global consensus involving experts, patients, and organisations worldwide.

This isn’t just rebranding, it’s about better understanding and better care.

Perimenopause or menopause… and not sure what’s actually going on in your body?

Late-night Googling.
Conflicting advice.
Strong opinions everywhere.

If that sounds familiar, this workshop is for you.

On 22 March, I’ll be joining pilates instructor Anne Simonsen, founder of ‘Shape it up Pilates’ in Rugby.

In this relaxed 2-hour workshop, we’ll talk honestly about what’s happening in midlife and what you can actually do about it.

We’ll explore:
• Sleep & relaxation – why it changes
• Mood, energy and focus
• Weight changes
• HRT – what it is and how to decide if it’s right for you

You’ll leave with:
✔ Clear, reliable information you can trust
✔ Practical steps you can take
✔ A better understanding of your options
✔ Confidence to speak to your GP
✔ Reassurance that what you’re experiencing is normal

Whether you’re perimenopausal, post-menopausal, or just noticing subtle changes, this session is about learning, connecting and pausing long enough to understand your health.

Refreshments and their famous blueberry cake included! 🫐

Most women get 10 minutes to talk about their peri- menopause / menopause symptoms.

But those symptoms may have been affecting them for months, sometimes years.

So it’s no surprise many women tell me they feel rushed, unheard, or unsure where to start when they finally ask for help.

I’m Dr Rebecca Jacques, a GP and menopause specialist in Warwickshire, offering in-person and online menopause consultations designed to give you the time and space to explore what’s really going on.

This isn’t a rushed appointment.

My aim is to understand the whole picture, including:

• The menopause or perimenopause symptoms affecting your life
• What matters most to you and what you’d really like help with.
• What your expectations are for the consultation
• Your medical and family history
• What you may already have tried for your symptoms

Many women want time to talk through questions like:

• Is HRT right for me?
• Can I safely take hormone replacement therapy?
• What are the alternatives to HRT?
• How can I protect my heart health and bone health during menopause?

We can also review any blood tests you’ve already had or arrange further testing if needed.

And importantly, support doesn’t stop when the appointment ends.
If questions come up afterwards, you’re welcome to email following your consultation.

Because menopause care should feel thoughtful, unhurried, and centred around you.
