Dr Sarah Ball

For several years I have dedicated my time to providing specialist menopause care to women of all ages. I have a particular interest in unpicking the evidence behind the medicine to enable women to understand what it means for them as individuals. I believe that medicine is both a science and an art. The science guides and informs our practice but it’s the art of applying the medicine to women that makes medicine special.

I am particularly interested in providing care to women who may have been told that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is not suitable for them. I take great pleasure in listening to each woman’s story, understanding her perspective on her care, and translating medical evidence to facilitate informed patient choice through shared decision-making. I firmly believe that women should have access to evidence-based medicine, empowering them to make decisions that enable full, healthy lives. This includes thriving in the workplace and maintaining fulfilling, long-term relationships.

I graduated from Birmingham University (MBChB) in 1998 and went on to complete postgraduate training in General Practice where I achieved diplomas in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Family Planning and practical contraceptive techniques (coil fitting and implant insertion).

I also have a special focus on women with a history of Histamine Intolerance and those with a past history of cancer. Outside of my professional life, I am an avid runner and was thrilled to complete the London Marathon.
