Having worked for many years in the NHS, mostly as Lead Clinician within an integrated Community Sexual Health Service, Dr Deborah Lee now works as a health and medical writer, with an emphasis on women’s health. Dr Lee is a medical content writer for Dr Fox (Dr Fox Online Pharmacy).
Dr Lee writes for many media outlets including The Daily Express, The Sun, The Mirror, Bella, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Net Doctor, and many more. She remains passionate about all aspects of medicine – including obesity, weight loss, diet, sleep, and nutrition.
After qualifying from University of Southampton Medical School in 1986, Dr Lee trained as a GP and after a number of years specialised in Sexual & Reproductive Health (S&RH).
S&RH is a very broad speciality which includes for example: Gynaecology and Medical Gynaecology, all types and aspects of contraceptive care including coils and implants, dealing with unplanned pregnancies, abnormal smears, screening and treating STIs in both males and females, Young People’s Sexual Health, Sexual Assault, and in particular Menopause Care – which has been her special interest. Dr Lee set up and ran her own specialist menopause clinic.
During this time, Dr Lee wrote extensively, and had numerous medical publications, as well as working as sub-editor for a medical journal. She has also written articles for The Huffington Post UK under the pseudonym Dr Daisy Mae.
Medical education and training has also been a large part of Dr Lee’s professional career. She has been a Contraception & Sexual Health Trainer, a Faculty Examiner and a Training Programme Director.
‘I strongly believe in the power of the pen. I am passionate about healthcare. If someone reads something I’ve written and it helps them make a good healthcare choice, then my job has been worthwhile,’ says Dr Lee.
Dr Lee will be writing a regular column for The Sussex Newspaper starting from next week.
