Menopause is normal. Having access to a health professional who understands hormonal health should be too.
We want every GP surgery in the UK to have at least one staff person trained in menopause and women’s hormonal health.
If you want that too, join us in our campaign!
Why are we (sometimes) hot...
and definitely bothered?
At the moment, GPs (and other staff in their surgery) have no requirement to be trained on hormonal health - including perimenopause and menopause.
No one thinks this is a good thing.
Doctors
77.5% of GPs think there should be more training on menopause.
A senior UK coroner said “I was surprised to learn that menopausal training is not mandatory in any area of clinical practice or specialism….I am concerned that there is no requirement to undertake essential compulsory menopausal training for those working in relevant clinical practices.”
Women
Across the country, thousands of women from Blackpool to Essex are asking for GP services to have a person who has this training.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham
“We need to take menopause more seriously…one hour training is nowhere near acceptable”
Hormonal health affects everything. Teenage years, pregnancy and post partum health, perimenopause and menopause. It affects every cell in your body - your heart, brain and bones as well as your reproductive system.
Why are we waiting?
Join our campaign to get at least one staff person properly trained in hormonal health and menopause in EVERY GP surgery in the UK.

Support for the Campaign
“Every UK GP practice should have at least one women’s health-trained GP, ensuring informed, compassionate, consistent care for every woman.”
Professor Deborah Bruce
Honorary Consultant Gynaecologist
“Every medical professional should understand hormone imbalances to improve health of women and reduce needless suffering.”
Dr Louise Newson
"With a third of UK females currently being menopausal or perimenopausal, the provision of a menopause specialist in every GP surgery is crucial and justified"
