Menopause is a significant life stage that can have a profound impact on physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing—yet many patients still struggle to access informed, supportive care. This online course is designed for healthcare professionals working in primary care who want to build confidence in recognising, assessing, and managing menopause and perimenopause. It explores the stages, symptoms, and clinical implications of menopause, including early menopause and premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). You’ll gain practical understanding of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), non-hormonal options, long-term health risks, and inclusive communication strategies. The course is grounded in NICE NG23 and British Menopause Society (BMS) best practice recommendations, ensuring you can deliver safe, evidence-based care. We recognise that menopause affects not only women but also some trans men, non-binary, and intersex people. Our content reflects this diversity and supports respectful, inclusive clinical care. Whether you're expanding your scope or refreshing your knowledge, this course will help you provide safe, confident menopause support that truly makes a difference.
