About
Dr Olivia Hum is an experienced GP who has been working in Sussex for 23 years. She sees patients for menopause and women's health conditions at the Nuffield Hospitals in Haywards Heath and Woodingdean. She trained at Cambridge University and UCL and has worked in Australia and East Timor.
Dr Olivia Hum is an NHS GP in Lewes. She is one of only 300 BMS accredited Menopause Specialists, and holds the FSRH Advanced Certificate in Menopause Care, training at Guy's Hospital, London. She specialises in menopause, perimenopause, hormonal health and other aspects of women's health. Along with her colleague Dr Zoe Schaedel, she set up Myla Health, a group of specialist Women’s Health GPs providing menopause care, and treatment for other female hormonal issues. She is based at Nuffield Health Hospitals in Haywards Heath and Brighton.

Olivia prides herself on offering a holistic service looking at physical, social and psychological aspects of health. She is passionate about improving health care for women, especially around the menopause and perimenopause, where so many women are suffering needlessly with debilitating symptoms.
