Earlier this year, women in Solihull told Healthwatch about the challenges they faced getting support for menopause. Their feedback has already driven real change.
Now, thanks to their feedback, NHS teams and local partners are taking clear steps to improve care.
Since our report, local NHS teams have committed to:
– A new Menopause Guidance Toolkit for GP practices, to give clear, consistent advice and reduce variation in care.
– Stronger referral pathways between GPs and specialists, so women can access the right help and HRT more quickly.
– Closer collaboration with community partners such as Menopause Knowledge, making sure improvements are shaped by lived experience.
These steps will contribute to a better, more joined-up care for women going through menopause in Birmingham & Solihull. We will continue to follow progress and make sure your voices remain central to change.
