In February, Welsh Government published an important report on menopause – the ‘All-Wales Menopause Task & Finish Group Final Report & Recommendations’.
FTWW was delighted to support two of its volunteer patient representatives – Lisa Nicholls from South and Dawn Owen from North Wales – to take part, ensuring that the patient voice was heard alongside those of clinicians and government.
Recommendations from the report include:
- the need for menopause to feature in the 10-year Women’s Health Plan for Wales currently under development
- the need for more research into different aspects of the menopause
- wider education and information on menopause
- easier / quicker access to healthcare professionals with expertise on the menopause.
