Require nurses who are educated in menopause working in every healthcare setting

Closed 511 signatures

What the petition asks

We think it is imperative we have at least one nurse/doctor, that is trained in menopause, working in every health care setting to ensure women are getting accurate advice and the vital support they need.
Menopause can impact a woman's life massively. She is going through the biggest change of her life, both mentally and physically. Her relationships with family and friends can be effected, her work, her energy levels, her self worth, the anxiety can be much to bare and she feels isolated. Constantly getting turned away by GP's who may believe she is too young or she has mental health issues. We believe this is because GP's are simply not educated enough on the menopause, and they do not understand the symptoms.
