Presenter bio: 
Dr Bill Robertson-Smith is a bone health researcher, campaigner, and has worked for 11 years as a Senior Surgical Care Practitioner specialising in sarcoma and lower limb arthroplasty within the NHS. She completed her Doctorate in 2022, researching the oncologic outcomes of synovial sarcoma in a UK population. Her interest in bone health started a few years ago when she realised that the vast number of fragility fractures in the women that she saw within the NHS, were largely preventable. In recent times she has worked with the author and menopause campaigner Kate Muir, GP and menopause specialist Dr Radhika Vohra, and author of The Feel Good Fix Lavina Mehta MBE with Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace, launching a national campaign “Give your bones a break”  at Bloomberg, empowering women to take charge of their bone health. She has spoken about women’s bone health on numerous podcasts and has contributed to wider literature on the importance of hormones for women’s bone health in midlife.
