Hello and welcome to Ebb & Flow. My name is Jill Davidson and I am a GP with an extended role in Lifestyle Medicine. This means I help my patients and clients improve their health by making simple but effective lifestyle changes. I have a specific interest in using lifestyle coaching to support the menopause transition (read more here about my own experience with this).

I am a member of the Royal College of General Practitioners and the British Society of Lifestyle medicine. I have 12 years of experience working as an NHS Doctor, including 7 years in General Practice. Prior to this I worked as a Nurse and Community Carer for over 10 years. I understand the current pressures within the NHS and I know what this means for patients. As Health Professionals we ultimately aim to promote health and wellness to our patients so that disease and ill health can be prevented where possible. Unfortunately, with the current pressures on the healthcare system and in particular within Primary Care, there is often not enough time during patient appointments to provide the level of health promotion that is needed.

I decided to start Ebb & Flow so I could help to bridge that gap for my patients and clients by offering longer appointments where I can give my undivided attention, support and guidance around lifestyle and wellbeing. I hope to empower my patients and clients by providing the tools they need to create a healthy and well balanced lifestyle.
