Increase funding for training and recruiting doctors with menopause expertise

Closed 1,250 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should increase NHS funding for training and recruiting general practitioners with expertise regarding Perimenopause and Menopause. I believe there should be a Doctor specialising within this subject available at every local General Practitioners.
I feel there isn’t enough expertise, guidance, support and explanation of treatment options available to us within our local GPs for Perimenopause / Menopause. I find the set up to be very poor!

This is a transition ALL WOMEN will go through in their lives. We deserve to be heard and now I believe this is the time for CHANGE. Many women of all ages feel so alone they feel they have no option but to seek and pay for private consultants to gain the help and treatment needed. This is unjust. Please help!
