To help ensure women receive the best possible care, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence published a guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of the menopause in November 2015. This set out the support, information and treatments needed to address the often debilitating symptoms that women suffer.

Recently in December 2019, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists published ‘Better for Women’ which calls for a life course approach and includes a focus on general health during and after the menopause.

The Government will continue to encourage employers to rise to the challenge by creating supportive and flexible ways to help those living with these conditions.
