Professional background

Dr Sophie Clarke is a consultant endocrinologist at UCLH, specialising in reproductive endocrinology.

Qualifying from Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ medical school, she undertook her endocrine training in London, before being awarded an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship. This resulted in her completing a PhD in the endocrine approach to IVF treatment before undertaking further work into the endocrine control of reproductive health during her NIHR Clinical Lectureship.

Her practice also includes providing care to patients with ovulatory disorders, including polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and functional hypothalamic amenorrhoea.
