Course overview
Essentials of Menopause: Practical Primary-Care Management for General Practitioners is an engaging, comprehensive short course designed for general practitioners, family practitioners, medical officers and other primary-care clinicians who encounter menopausal patients. It aims to equip participants with the practical knowledge, clinical reasoning and professional judgement required to diagnose, manage and monitor menopause confidently. Through a blend of evidence-informed knowledge and practical application, participants explore menopause physiology and diagnosis, menopausal hormone therapy, non-hormonal and lifestyle options, genitourinary and sexual health, long-term preventive care and complex cases requiring referral.
The six-hour course is delivered fully online and asynchronously through six structured modules. Learning includes expert-led micro-lectures, interactive lessons, an unfolding patient case, case-based decision activities and knowledge checks that support real-world primary-care practice. Assessment is continuous and applied, using pre- and post-module checks, case-based formative activities and a final summative assessment to evaluate safe, individualised and patient-centred clinical decision-making.
