AMS is excited to announce that we will be hosting Menopause Down Under at Rydges World Square, Sydney on Saturday 6 April 2024. This whole day event will focus on midlife women's health issues down under. Join us for an up-to-date discussion on the fundamentals of menopause medicine, management of bleeding whilst on menopausal hormonal therapy, pelvic floor dysfunction and incontinence, and management of genitourinary syndrome of the menopause. There will be a panel discussion on managing complex cases and we encourage you to send in your case study by 22 March 2024 to ams@menopause.org.au for discussion by the panel.
This is a great opportunity to hear from some of Australia's experts in the field of midlife women's health and to network with colleagues.
This face-to-face event will also be live-streamed for health professionals who cannot make it to Sydney. Please note that online attendees will not be able to ask questions of the presenters. However, we still encourage online delegates to send us your complex cases for discussion by our expert panel by 22 March 2024 to ams@menopause.org.auÂ

The event is also being recorded and all delegates who register will have access to the recording for around 3 months after the event.
Please note that it may take a couple of days to upload the recording and all delegates will be emailed with a link following the event.
