The government recognises that menopause services need to improve which is why the menopause will be a priority area in our Women’s Health Strategy, to be published later this year.

The NHS Menopause Improvement Programme will also improve access to menopause care in line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines, helping to educate healthcare professionals and raise awareness for women, and the UK Menopause Taskforce is working to share best practice in improving menopause care across the UK.
