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>

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 \u2018Better for Women\u2019 which calls for a life course approach and includes a focus on general health during and after the menopause.<\/p>

We encourage employers to rise to the challenge by creating supportive and flexible ways to help those living with these conditions.<\/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>

Health Education England (HEE) provides leadership for the education and training system. HEE ensures that the workforce has the right skills, behaviours and training, and is available in the right numbers, to support the delivery of excellent healthcare and drive improvements.<\/p>

It is the responsibility of each individual employer to ensure that they have sufficient numbers of suitably qualified, skilled and experienced staff at all times, as part of strict registration regulations of the Care Quality Commission.<\/p>

The NHS People Plan aims to ensure a sustainable overall balance between supply and demand across all staff groups. We have committed to deliver 50,000 more nurses in the National Health Service by 2025.<\/p>

Proposals around workforce accountability, workforce resourcing and planning currently are being considered by the Government.<\/p>

As part of the Government\u2019s continued commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant, veterans should receive priority treatment where it relates to a condition which results from their time in the armed forces, subject to clinical need.<\/p>

In England, the National Health Service have implemented this by offering veterans access to both mainstream and bespoke veterans mental health services. This means that veterans are often seen faster than the general public.<\/p>

We are aware of ongoing supply issues with some hormone replacement therapy (HRT) preparations due to a range of issues including manufacturing issues, regulatory issues and problems accessing the raw pharmaceutical ingredient as well as commercial decisions made by some companies to divest these products. Although some HRT products are affected by supply issues, supplies of other alternative HRT products remain available.<\/p>

We have been working closely with all suppliers of HRT preparations to maintain overall supply to patients, and we anticipate the supply situation will improve from the end of this month.<\/p>
