The Menopause Support Clinic provides dedicated care for staff within the GPN workforce and member practices, supporting wellbeing, reducing sickness absence, and promoting a healthy work environment. The clinic has received 100% positive feedback in Friends and Family questionnaires, reflecting the value and impact of this service.

Menopause affects a significant proportion of the NHS workforce, with approximately 1 in 5 women aged between 45 and 54 potentially experiencing symptoms related to the menopause transition. The Menopause Support Clinic offers a safe, confidential, and supportive space for staff to discuss their concerns and access personalised treatment and advice from a GP specialising in menopause care.

The clinic operates on a six-weekly schedule and provides structured appointments tailored to individual needs, including:

  • 30-minute consultations for new patients
  • 15-minute follow-up appointments for ongoing care

The service is available to Primary Care staff working within GPN or member practices who are registered with a Peterborough GP practice. Staff can self-refer via NHS email, allowing easy access to the clinic without additional administrative barriers.

The Menopause Support Clinic operates:

  • One clinic per month

By offering face-to-face consultations with an experienced GP, the clinic supports staff wellbeing, improves engagement, and ensures staff can access timely advice and treatment for menopause-related health concerns.
