Incorporate menopause into the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QoF) for GPs

Petition Details

QOF is a system for managing performance and paying general practices for providing care to their patients. By incorporating menopause into QOF, GPs should be better motivated and incentivised to recognise symptoms of menopause and treat women accordingly, which should help improve patient outcomes.

Additional Information

A recent study found that almost a third of women who approached their GP said it took many appointments before their GP realised they were experiencing menopause or perimenopause. We believe there is insufficient knowledge amongst GPs to recognise menopause symptoms and have the conversations that help them identify and diagnose it. This can mean GPs spending money and time doing unnecessary investigations or prescribing unnecessary medications. Incorporating menopause into QOF should help improve patient care, and could save GPs time.
