Where It Started For Dr Lucy Steed
Dr Steed graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2009 and stayed in the city to complete her GP training (2014). Early in her career she worked in genitourinary medicine and in adult psychiatry which helped form a strong foundation for interests in women’s health and in mental health which have continued to shape her career.
Dr Steed moved to London in 2014 and has since worked as an NHS GP in and around the London area including in out of hours care covering Richmond, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, North West Surrey and most recently Buckinghamshire where she now lives. She is a member of the British Menopause Society and the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine and is completing the Advanced Certificate in Menopause care with the British Menopause Society.
She has undertaken additional postgraduate training to gain accreditation and diplomas in child health (2013), sexual health and family planning (2014) including the fitting of intrauterine and subdermal contraceptive devices, and in 2022 was awarded board certificated (IBLM/BSLM) as a lifestyle medicine physician, demonstrating particular expertise in health promotion and disease prevention.
More Information
Since early 2022 Dr Steed has been practising as a menopause specialist, providing
remote consultations to women all across the UK.
She is excited to now be joining Dr Carter at [define] clinic to offer her services to women more locally to where she lives.
Dr Steed recognises the huge impact menopause can have on a woman’s life, especially on mental health, and feels this has historically been overlooked. She feels strongly that menopause is a perfect opportunity to act to prevent future disease. She is passionate about promoting awareness and education of menopause care to both sexes as well as to other healthcare professionals. In doing so she hopes to abolish some of the ignorance and misinformation surrounding menopause and HRT and to enable women to make the right choices for themselves about their health and wellbeing.
Outside of work, Dr Steed is a devoted mum to two young boys who are her absolute world. She loves arts and crafts, as well as cooking for and spending quality time with her friends and family.
