Dual-qualified clinician — surgical training (MRCS) and general practice (MRCGP) — practising GP partner and Clinical Director of a CQC-registered private clinic specialising in menopause and women's health. Available for clinical AI advisory, digital-health safety input and workplace menopause consultancy alongside clinical practice.
Four ways organisations work with Gemma — each grounded in current, hands-on clinical practice rather than career-consultancy distance.
For AI labs, data platforms and health-tech teams that need practising-clinician judgement in the loop.
Clinical-safety input for products entering UK health settings, aligned to the DCB0129 / DCB0160 clinical risk management standards.
For employers and HR teams: turn menopause from an unspoken attrition risk into a supported, retained workforce.
Per-call and standing advisory work for investors, pharma, consultancies and media.
Clinical credibility that comes from doing the job, not describing it.
Gemma trained as a surgeon (MRCS) before moving into general practice (MRCGP) — a dual perspective that shows in how she assesses risk: procedural rigour combined with whole-person, long-term care thinking.
She practises as an NHS GP partner and is Clinical Director of a CQC-registered private clinic focused on menopause and women's health, where she leads clinical governance, service design and prescribing pathways for modern menopause care.
That combination — active NHS frontline practice, private-sector service leadership, regulatory accountability under CQC, and deep menopause specialism — is what she brings into every advisory engagement.
Health-tech companies entering the UK normally hire a clinician for safety and a separate consultant for CQC and go-to-market — and the two never speak. Gemma works as one half of a bundled advisory unit with Adrian Whetton, Managing Director of the same CQC-registered clinic: she brings the clinical safety case and specialist credibility; he brings CQC registration experience, pricing and workflow reality. One contract, both halves, from a pair who already run a regulated UK clinic together.
Advisory engagements are scheduled around clinical commitments — remote-first, with clear scoping up front. Rates on request.
