Description

About the MedAll Primary Care CPD Programme

We are passionate about making medical education free and more accessible. In light of the increasing financial pressures faced by healthcare professionals, including the rising cost of living and strained practice finances, we felt compelled to do something. It's why we have introduced a no-cost CPD programme for doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals working in primary care. We recognise that the high expense of traditional CPD update courses is a significant barrier, and by collaborating as an entire primary care community we hope we can offer a practical, accessible alternative.

About our speaker: Dr Vikram Talaulikar MD, FRCOG, PhD

Dr. Talaulikar is an Honorary Associate Professor in Women's Health at University College London. As a British Menopause Society Menopause Specialist, Dr. Talaulikar brings a wealth of expertise in menopause care. He is recognized as a Principal Trainer for the Menopause Special Skills Module at the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. He is a Trainer for the BMS Principles and Practice of Menopause Care course.

Who Should Join?

✅ GPs

✅ Primary care and practice nurses

✅ Practice pharmacists

✅ Other allied healthcare professionals in primary care

Note: this event is not formally accredited by an external organisation for CPD points. The current guidance for GP CPD is that it is appropriate that the credits you self-allocate should equal however many hours you spent on learning activities, as long as they are demonstrated by a reflective note on lessons learned and any changes made or planned (if applicable).

Summary

This Primary Care Updates course is designed to help GPs to stay up-to-date with the latest guidelines and developments in menopause diagnosis and management, including hormone replacement therapy and alternative, non-hormonal options.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session, colleagues will:

  1. Be able to explain the latest understanding of the physiological process of menopause, including its stages (perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause) and the typical age range and symptoms associated with each stage.

  2. Learn to accurately diagnose menopause and understand the overlap of symptoms with other conditions - using patient history, symptom assessment, and hormonal tests (if required).

  3. Gain updates on the indications, risks, benefits, and various forms of HRT, and how to personalize HRT treatment for individual patients.

  4. Be able to recommend and prescribe non-hormonal treatments for menopausal symptoms, including lifestyle modifications, alternative therapies, and non-hormonal medications.

  5. Gain updates on the latest therapeutic approaches on managing conditions commonly associated with menopause, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular risk, and urogenital atrophy.

  6. Enhance their skills in discussing menopause openly with patients, providing empathetic support, and addressing common misconceptions and fears.
