Miss Helen Bayliss
Consultant Gynaecologist Menopause
MBChB FRCOG DFSRH
"I look forward to bringing Specialist Menopause care to Spire Cardiff Hospital."
I have been a Consultant Gynaecologist for 13 years, and have developed a special interest in the care of women experiencing symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. I am an accredited Menopause Specialist recognised by the British Menopause Society and holds the advanced certificate in the principals and practice of menopause care.
I have a thorough understanding of the problems associated with the diagnosis and management of menopause and the impact it may have both personally and professionally. I am medical lead of a busy specialist menopause service where I am proud to provide individualised care to women.
I am able to help in the diagnosis of both perimenopause and menopause and offer medical management. The treatment offered would be reflective of my experience in the NHS Menopause clinic.
I have two specialist menopause clinics weekly in my NHS practice in which we see referrals from both primary and secondary care. During the last 2 years the demand for menopause care has increased and we now see an average of 500 new referrals per year and rising.
Within the NHS service I have experience of managing women with challenging symptoms and also patients with multiple medical problems which can make both diagnosis and treatment more challenging within the primary care setting. I work within evidence based guidelines based on framework provided by the British Menopause Society and NICE, and this would be reflected in my work through Spire Cardiff Hospital.
I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and also a Diplomate of the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health. Currently, I am Lead for Integrated Sexual Health and Menopause within Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board.
I am Chair of the Welsh Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health.

Personal profile
I think we have all come to realise the importance of simple things over the last year and mine and my husbands' would be walking Rosie the dog on our local beach, and if we are very lucky, being joined by our two teenage daughters.
