Doctors and patients question the prescribing of high HRT doses by Dr Louise Newson and her clinics.
England’s health watchdog, the Care Quality Commission , is looking into “information of concern” at clinics run by one of TV’s best-known menopause doctors.
It also said its approach was consistent with national guidelines and that the British Menopause Society was a charity and not a regulatory body. The British Menopause Society told the BBC it removed Dr Newson from its register of menopause specialists last year because of concerns that “aspects of her practice” did not fit with “established guidance”.
In some NHS trusts, women may have to wait between six months and a year for specialist support at a menopause clinic. This means some end up seeking private treatment. HRT can be administered as a gel, spray, tablets or patches. The highest licensed dose of oestrogen is 100 micrograms per day. The 15 women who spoke to Panorama said they had experienced complications after being Newson Health patients.
A few months later, the doctor began increasing her dose. Rachel says she entered a cycle of her dose being upped, and her symptoms getting worse. One of the clinic’s former doctors who wanted to remain anonymous told the BBC: “I have concerns that the continued current opinion and directions being offered by Dr Newson will, in time, cause women harm.”
Consultant gynaecologist Prof Janice Rymer says she has “never, ever prescribed that dose of oestrogen to anybody” Prof Janice Rymer, consultant gynaecologist at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust - and chair of the BMS - believes Rachel’s womb changes were due to her treatment by Newson Health.
