What's new in menopause management and treatment: a practical 2026 update for primary care
Free 1 CPD point menopause webinar for UK primary care clinicians
A practical 2026 update on menopause assessment, non-hormonal treatment, HRT prescribing and monitoring, and complex consultations after cancer.
About This Webinar
Menopause care is moving quickly. New NICE recommendations, a new non-hormonal treatment option and a sharper focus on the symptoms that get missed all change what good primary care looks like in 2026. This practical, case-based session covers the full symptom picture and where it gets misattributed, HRT initiation and monitoring, and the complex consultation after cancer. You will leave with clear, usable steps for the next working day.
Learning Objectives
- Recognise the full menopausal symptom spectrum, including cognitive, sleep, musculoskeletal and digestive symptoms that are commonly misattributed to depression, ageing or IBS
- Apply a structured approach to HRT initiation, review and troubleshooting, including for women who cannot take it or choose not to
- Identify genitourinary syndrome of menopause and describe the current evidence on vaginal oestrogen safety, including after breast and gynaecological cancer
- Appraise the evidence for non-hormonal and lifestyle approaches within a holistic assessment
- Determine when complex menopause can be managed in primary care and when referral is appropriate
Programme
A brief introduction to the session, the speaker and the sponsorship arrangement.
How the menopause presents beyond hot flushes, and why cognitive, sleep and musculoskeletal symptoms are so often attributed to low mood or ageing.
The evidence for non-hormonal and lifestyle approaches within a whole-person assessment, including where they fit for women who cannot take HRT or choose not to.
A short segment from our partner. Presented by Imogen Wolsey, Registered Dietitian and Healthcare Professional Development Manager at Symprove.
Two anonymised cases worked through in detail: a practical HRT initiation and review, then a complex consultation after cancer covering genitourinary symptoms and vaginal oestrogen safety.
Your questions to Dr Phipps, moderated by Amy Delderfield, with time to raise the cases you find most challenging.
