Description
Our Managing Menopause in Primary Care course offers a comprehensive, evidence-based introduction to menopause management for primary care practitioners. This one-day course equips participants with the knowledge and skills needed to confidently assess, diagnose, and manage menopause-related symptoms. It also explores both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options.
The course delves into the physiology of menopause and both the physical and psychological symptoms. Participants will review landmark studies and their impact, alongside NICE (2024) and BMS recommendations. A key focus is on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), including its benefits, risks, and monitoring. The course also covers non-hormonal treatments, lifestyle changes, and complementary therapies.
Additionally, the course addresses specialist topics such as premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), fertility considerations, sexual health, and contraception in perimenopause amongst others. Practical case discussions help apply learning to real-world cases. These sessions refine decision-making skills and boost confidence in menopause consultations.
By the end of the course, participants will have a well-rounded understanding of menopause management. They will be confident in assessing and mitigating risks. This course also equips learners with the latest guidelines and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and provide high-quality, patient-centred care.
This is an introductory course, suitable for those who are new to menopause care or who are wishing to develop and improve upon their existing knowledge and skills. Upon successful completion of the course, participants earn a certificate in Managing Menopause in Primary Care, providing a pathway to gain clinical competence and practice under supervision through hands-on experience and mentorship in practice.
