In this episode I've invited Dr. Rachel Hines, a medical specialist GP and the Clinical Director of Medical Services at Stella to talk to me about our new service, Latte Lounge +. If you're intrigued about the idea of an online menopause clinic, then stay tuned as we'll be walking you through exactly how it works. And getting through all your questions too.  Dr. Rachel Hines is an expert in the field of menopause. She's completed advanced menopause training with the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare, and she's on the British Menopause Society Specialist Register. Rachel's also an experienced GP and worked for the NHS for 17 years. She has diplomas in sexual and reproductive health care, gynaecology and child health and has specialised in women's health throughout her career working in community gynaecology for four years alongside her GP work. Alongside her work for Stella, she works at Claire Mellon and Associates at the Portland Hospital.  2:00 Why getting a diagnosis can be so difficult 5:09 When medication is needed 8:30 How Latte Lounge + works 9:28 Speaking with an online doctor 12:45 Receiving prescriptions by post 13:49 Additional support from the app About The Latte Lounge: This episode of the Latte Lounge podcast was presented by Katie Taylor from The Latte Lounge.
