Jackie Asser

Jacquelyn is an Independent Prescribing Pharmacist with over 35 years of experience in pharmacy practice, and a specialist focus on women’s health, menopause care and medical weight management. Over nearly four decades, she has built trusted, long-standing relationships with patients through a compassionate, professional and evidence-based approach to care.

Since qualifying as an independent prescriber, she has further developed her clinical expertise to provide comprehensive assessment and personalised treatment plans with a strong emphasis on safety, education and long-term wellbeing.

Menopause & Women’s Health

Having completed the British Menopause Society (BMS) Management of Menopause course, Jacquelyn supports women throughout all stages of the menopause transition, from perimenopause to post menopause.

Her approach addresses both immediate symptom management — including vasomotor symptoms, mood changes and sleep disturbance — and long-term health optimisation, such as cardiovascular risk reduction, bone health preservation and weight management.

As an independent prescriber, she can assess, initiate and optimise treatment plans, including HRT and non-hormonal options, alongside personalised lifestyle and wellbeing strategies. Her focus is on empowering women with clear, evidence-based guidance and confident decision making.

Weight Management

Jacquelyn is a Certified Partner of the National Medical Weight Loss Programme, with SCOPE-accredited training in the medical management of overweight and obesity.
She provides structured, personalised support for sustainable weight management, combining medical therapies where appropriate with practical lifestyle guidance to promote long-term health and lasting results.
