Menopause training for nurses

[Ewk1]

Hi all,

I am a Practice Nurse and support women struggling with menopause on a daily basis. I am inviting you to sign my petition to fund menopause training for Practice Nurses. Every woman will experience menopause, and for some, symptoms are debilitating. In order for Practice Nurses to support women through menopause, funding needs to be made available.

Here’s the link to the petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/633748

I am confident that menopause training will reduce the burden on the NHS by providing patient-centred care, preventing misdiagnosis and unnecessary prescribing. Correctly identifying menopausal symptoms can prevent the onset of long-term conditions in women, such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis.
Thank you in advance for signing the petition. I would be very grateful if you would share the petition and encourage others to sign.
Kind Regards,
Liz

@Ewk1 I thought this was already happening through the #makemenopausemattercampaign? They have already had a meeting in Parliament

Hi,
There was an attempt to mandate menopause training for gps, but this wasn't within the jurisdiction of Parliament, so was not passed.

Hi all,

Delighted to say the petition now has 1,000+ signatures. If you haven't already, would you please sign and share? This isn't about medicalising menopause, it is about ensuring that all women have access to evidence-based information and treatment options. Simple.
