Description

This episode explores how GPs can confidently assess, initiate and individualise menopause hormone therapy, from chaotic early perimenopause through to late post menopause.

    • Tailor MHT across perimenopause and menopause
    • Use cardiovascular risk to guide MHT decisions
    • Compare oral, transdermal and vaginal MHT options
    • Manage MHT side effects and abnormal bleeding
    • Understand MHT’s role in healthy ageing
