More menopause support for patients at Pennygate! Please support these sessions, otherwise they will stop if no one attends.

Fiona is really easy to talk with, she's very knowledgeable about all areas of menopause. No question is stupid, don't be afraid to ask.

🌸 Still a few places left! 🌸

Join Fiona for our Menopause Awareness Session Thursday 27th November, 5–6pm at Pennygate Medical Centre.

This friendly session is open to patients registered at Pennygate Medical Centre and will cover menopause symptoms, support options, and treatments available through the NHS.

Don’t miss out — book your free place today!

Fiona is a fount of knowledge about menopause. If you're within the GP catchment area get along to see her. If we don't make use of these services they'll stop. If work or other commitments are getting in the way of accessing support then let your GP know this.

Sorry but I'm not well and have cancelled tonight's session. See you in November.

If you feel that your GP isn't listening to you, try keeping a diary of your symptoms to share with them. Balance Menopause app is useful for this.

What are your thoughts on todays announcement?

Here are mine.

Its another step in the right direction but
to make it work we need…

Mandatory menopause education for GPs & practice nurses.

Training for the health care assistants who will host the health checks.

Menopause information booklets in every GP practice and community space.

A sustained, government funded, menopause public health campaign.

Everyone to actually be offered a health check at 40.

And, everyone to attend when called, many don’t attend for a variety of reasons.

And we must also remember that current figures tell us that approximately 4 in 100 will experience a premature menopause. Menopause information and support must be made available long before the age of 40.
