Fund menopause support being added to the NHS Health Checks for women over 40
Taking place every five years from the age of 40, we think that NHS Health Checks are the perfect opportunity for the majority of women to see a healthcare professional before perimenopause starts to learn more about what to expect, and then again during and after menopause for continued care.
Research has revealed that 90% of premenopausal women want to know more about the menopause before it starts, and over 60% of women feel uninformed about the healthcare choices available during and after perimenopause, with women in perimenopause and postmenopause continuing to not know (63.1% and 64.2% respectively).
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
