I am often saddened to still see misinformation about menopause and treatment options, when there are so many accurate, trustworthy resources available. As we have said many times, we are all different, but we need accurate information readily available so that we can make truly informed decisions, supported by family, friends, and, when needed, educated healthcare professionals.

If you do need advice and support from a healthcare professional, be reassured that the British Menopause Society is the go to place with excellent free resources online for healthcare professionals and public, as well as masterclasses, conferences, and the recently launched online BMS Management of the Menopause certificate for healthcare professionals. Always more education is needed but amazing progress is being made.
