The British Menopause Society (BMS), established in 1989, educates, informs and guides Healthcare professionals on menopause and all aspects of post reproductive health. This is achieved through an annual programme of lectures, conferences, meetings, exhibitions and our interactive website. We offer a range of publications including our quarterly journal Post Reproductive Health and the definitive handbook Management of the Menopause.
Following the statement from the Prime Minister on 17 March 2020 and the current government recommendations, we have closed the office. It is, however, business as usual. The best way to contact us is via email.
