This episode rounds out our HRT series. We are joined by Dr Deirdre Lundy, Women’s Health Faculty with ICGP, and Dr Shirley McQuade, Medical Director of Dublin Well Woman Centre. We go into detail about the practicalities and potential pitfalls of prescribing HRT, as well as giving some examples of management options for a variety of presentations.
