<p>To help ensure women receive the best possible care, the National Institute for
Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published a guideline on the diagnosis and treatment
of menopause in November 2015. This set out the support, information and treatments
needed to address the often debilitating symptoms that women suffer.</p><p>The Royal
College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and the Royal College of General
Practitioners also have important roles to play in relation to awareness of, and clinical
practice relating to, menopause. Recently in December 2019, the RCOG published ‘Better
for Women’ which calls for a life course approach and includes a focus on general
health during and after the menopause.</p><p>We encourage employers to rise to the
challenge by creating supportive and flexible ways to help those living with these
conditions.</p><p>Whilst curricula for training healthcare professionals do not necessarily
highlight specific conditions for them to be aware of, they do emphasise the skills
and approaches that professionals must develop in order to ensure accurate and timely
diagnoses and treatment plans for their patients.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
