We’re thrilled to share Dr. Sarah Ball’s recent appearance on BBC Radio WM’s Life and Times segment with Kath Stanczyszyn! Dr. Ball opened up about her personal journey from arriving in Birmingham Medical School at 18 to dedicating over 20 years as a GP in the NHS. She discussed how her passion for patient-centred menopause care led her to transition into the private sector while continuing to provide support and resources for the NHS.

In this insightful conversation, Dr. Ball sheds light on the importance of prioritising preventative care, openly addressing issues like the impact of menopause and perimenopause on urinary and genital health. She even managed to add a bit of humour, using the term “front bottom” live on air to avoid medical jargon, showing that vital information about women’s health can be accessible and relatable.

Tune in below to hear Dr. Ball share her expertise and signpost listeners to free resources on menopause, including helpful guides from Health in Menopause and The Menopause Support Network.

(And, as a bonus, find out about her encounter with Pudsey Bear while at the studio!)

Listen to the full interview to learn more about her journey, insights, and dedication to making women’s health accessible to all.
