Good news! Menopause will now be included as part of NHS health checks in England. These 5-yearly checks, offered to people aged 40–74, are designed to spot early signs of health issues — and now, they’ll also open the door for more conversations about menopause and perimenopause.

This is a huge step forward for women’s health. It means more women will have the chance to discuss symptoms early, access the right support, and make lifestyle changes that protect long-term wellbeing.

Empower Menopause is passionate about raising awareness, educating workplaces, and supporting women to understand their health and thrive through every stage of life. Let’s make sure everyone knows these health checks exist — and that menopause matters. 💜
