Podcast: GP update – Menopause and HRT

This webinar from Dr. Eloise Elphinstone provides an update on managing unscheduled bleeding in postmenopausal women on hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Key points include new guidance on assessing bleeding risk factors and adjusting HRT regimens. Case studies demonstrate approaches to controlling bleeding through modifying oestrogen and progesterone doses or alternatives like the Mirena coil. Guidance is also given on ultrasound results and referral pathways. Options for complex cases involving progesterone intolerance or premature ovarian insufficiency are explored. The talk aims to help GPs confidently manage common menopause issues and determine when specialist referral is appropriate.

"I was introduced to the local locum chambers several months ago when I made a career move from partnership. I now combine salaried and locum roles. The chambers provides helpful support, leadership, advice and governance and reduces professional isolation. This combination of support reassures me and helps me provide safe and consistent care to patients within the community . There is a useful, innovative online portal - LocumDeck - which helps me access local work and which has efficient systems for reconciliation of finance including pensions. I would highly recommend joining a locum chambers for any GPs starting out in the locum world ."
