In this introductory episode for Menopause Week, we explore what menopause is and why it’s vital for clinicians to understand its impact on women’s quality of life. We discuss the NICE guidelines on menopause management, the issue of diagnostic overshadowing, and the importance of early intervention. We also touch on the role of employers in supporting women through menopause at work.

Following this, we’ll be releasing a special mini-series with Dr Jo Parry, a GP with a special interest in women’s health, with daily episodes throughout the final week of Menopause Month focused on managing menopause and HRT.
