Looking after our menopausal workforce: A model for NHS staff

Abstract

Objective: To determine whether a staff menopause clinic would benefit our peri/postmenopausal hospital workforce. Methods: The three menopause consultants, with OH administration assistance, set up a virtual clinic for staff members to address the unanswered need for access to good menopause care. Feedback was gathered from the attendees and the staff who ran the clinic. Results: The clinic was an overwhelming success and has now become an established clinic at a major London teaching hospital. Conclusions: We hope that this model can be used in other trusts, and other companies to provide good menopause care to our senior female workforce to retain them. Acknowledgements: We would like to thank the OH staff who ensured the clinics ran so smoothly.
