Speaker

MBChB, MRCGP, IFM Certified Functional Medicine practitioner

Dr Sarah created her Functional Medicine clinic Functional Nexus in 2016 with the aim of empowering and educating patients to take control of, and optimise their health through diet and lifestyle changes, alongside traditional medical care where required. She is a passionate educator of both patients and practitioners, and believes that understanding the root-causes of illness is essential when planning the journey back to health and vitality.

Dr Sarah graduated from the University of Manchester in Medicine in 2003, and pursued a parallel career in General Practice until 2021 when she made the decision to leave the NHS and concentrate on her work in Functional Medicine. She combines her experience from over 18 years as an NHS doctor with her training in Functional Medicine, and has helped thousands of patients with complex and chronic health conditions to thrive and regain their health.

After training and mentoring seven of her Functional Nexus colleagues making the transition from NHS medicine to Functional Medicine, 2026 sees the launch of Dr Sarah's new UK-based Functional Medicine training programme Functional Professional. Sarah is keen to grow UK Functional Medicine and make this powerful discipline available to as many patients as possible.

Outside the clinic, Sarah enjoys rock climbing and karate and loves to spend time outdoors with her family in the Peak district.
