With over 25 years’ experience specialising in BHRT, she set up the first UK academy in 2016 to enable other practitioners to help their patients. In doing so, there has been significant demand for basic level training to act as a foundation for ongoing training or simply for essential knowledge This new e-learning course serves both as a preliminary course to go on to complete course 1 and 2 where you can learn how to diagnose hormonal imbalances and prescribe BHRT.
