Sarah Gray
We are repeating this webinar on 23rd May 23, book online here
Dr Camilla Janssen talks to Dr Sarah Gray, a menopausal specialist, and they will delve into the world of menopause, discussing in more detail, some of the finer points around HRT and menopause, unpicking some of the latest evidence and guidelines, to ensure that we are up to date with our current prescribing and information in this area.
Building on the outlines webinar 'Menopause Webinar – hints and tips for a successful consultation' this session will provide more detailed practical help for those with some experience of prescribing HRT
It will use a case-based format to cover questions such as
- What is the latest thinking re risks and benefits of HRT – are there an contraindications?
- Bleeding with HRT and when to Investigate?
- PMT and HRT?
- PCOD and how this affects things?
- Starting HRT in ladies older than 60 – is this ever okay?
Please do email in advance any questions you would like addressed during this webinar in advance and we can see if we can incorporate these in the webinar: lead@wessexlmcs.org.uk

Subsidised Booking Options
Wessex LMCs hold a number of funds for different organisations, specifically for training purposes. By using these funds, many of our 'members' are able to access training without direct recourse to Practice Funds. It is important that you select the appropriate funding option in the booking process, so that we can assign your booking to the correct funding stream, and here is some guidance to help you decide.
All GPs and Members of Staff working within GP Practices in the Wessex LMCs' catchment area
Please use this option if you are working in a Practice in the Wessex LMC catchment area and do not fit into one of the other options on offer. This option may, or may not, have a cost attached.
BaNES Staff
Bath & North East Somerset (BaNES) Practices have given Wessex LMCs some of their training budget, to be used for their staff (not GPs) only. To access this funding you must be working in a Practice in Bath or North East Somerset and not be a GP.

Non Members
Please use this option if you are not working in a Practice in the Wessex LMCs catchment area.
NB: Unfortunately, some of your colleagues have previously booked places and not attended, preventing others from doing so. It must be stressed that the above options are not ‘FREE’ they are funded from NHS monies, all of which must be accounted for. If, therefore, you select one of these subsidised options, and do not attend, or fail to cancel more than 2 weeks in advance, you will be charged the full member delegate fee. To cancel your booking please email: Lead@wessexlmcs.org.uk at least 14 days before the event date.
