The British Menopause Society (BMS) educates, informs and guides health professionals specialising in menopause care and post reproductive health. The Medical Advisory Council of the BMS produces a series of consensus statements which address key disorders and controversial topics. These are comprised of evidence-based medicine and informal consensus.
The BMS Medical Advisory Council is in the process of updating all Consensus Statements to reflect new studies and recent publications.
