For healthcare professionals. Menopause Masterclass. Live interactive webinar panel session Thursday 25 April 6-8pm

Location: Live interactive webinar panel session, 6-8pm

Organiser: BMS

Duration: 2 hours plus time to review pre-reading material

Overview:

Menopause and mental healthcare 

  • The menopause transition is associated with an increase in mental health disorders reported in menopause clinics. For women with existing mental illness, menopause is a significant life event which may be associated with an exacerbation of symptoms.  This session will summarise the current understanding of the links between menopause and mental illness and describe an evidence-based approach to management.

Non-hormonal menopause treatment options 

  • While hormone therapy can be extremely effective for many women, this is not recommended for women with hormone sensitive cancer, and some women may choose to use non-hormonal therapies as a first-line option. This session will review the available alternative therapies, the evidence base for these treatment options with practical prescribing guidance and case studies to improve confidence in discussing these therapies with patients and prescribing.

Musculoskeletal health and the menopause

  • The musculoskeletal system is affected by lack of estrogen during the menopausal transition, with many women presenting with joint pain or concerns about bone density. What is the link between joint pain and menopause and how can it be treated? How are common rheumatological conditions affected by menopause and HRT? And what is the current guidance about osteoporosis and the use of HRT to prevent or treat it?  

The Menopause Masterclass carries 3 CPD credits.
