Description

63% of GPs rated this lecture as excellent.

What are “natural oestrogens” and what is their relevance to contraception? Proponents emphasise their “natural” status – claiming they offer reduced hepatic impact and lower VTE risk – but has this been proven in the real world? In this talk, Professor Deborah Bateson reviews the available evidence, explains the biology, and advises clinicians how best to navigate patient conversations about this soon-to-be promoted option. Professor Bateson will provide practical insights for evidence-based prescribing, including discussing current knowledge gaps, appropriate patient selection and objective clinical assessment.
