Menopause Essentials Update 2025

This Menopause Essentials Update is designed as a wrap up of evidence-based management options for menopause and midlife health.

Starting with structuring the initial consultation in the most effective way and finishing with a discussion of complex cases, the Menopause Essentials Update includes the latest on hormonal and non-hormonal options and up to date best-practice risk management recommendations across the full spectrum of menopause medicine. 

Speakers include: Dr Amie Hanlon, Dr Christina Jang, Dr Samantha Kerr, and Dr Hannah Farquhar. 

Interview with Dr Hannah Farquhar about her presentation

Q: Regarding Menopausal Hormone therapy, what information are you sharing with your medical colleagues? 

A: How we can safely prescribe menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), including the different hormonal preparations, indications and contraindications, and the benefits and risks.

Q: What key takeaways are you hoping people take from the MEU?

A: Firstly, how to individualise care for women experiencing menopause, and understanding that it's not a 'one size fits all' approach. Secondly, how to discuss the various management options with women to enable shared decision making. 

Q: Is there anything specific you’d like to add?

A: It's exciting that there is an increasing interest in menopausal health, and that we have an opportunity to provide education to further enhance awareness and understanding of the evidence.
