Strengthen menopause support after gynaecological cancer
Come together with gynaecological oncology CNSs and specialist nurses, ANPs, consultant gynaecologists and oncologists and specialist radiographers from across the NHS. Strengthen your confidence in HRT decision-making, understand the alternatives when HRT is not suitable and take away practical approaches to supporting early menopause, fertility and long-term care.
This unique workshop will provide you with the opportunity to explore interactive case studies, specialist menopause pathways and MDT working, while comparing best practice and your service challenges. Take one day out and leave better equipped to support your patients through treatment-induced menopause providing coordinated, individualised care.
Key learning outcomes

- Make informed HRT decisions after different gynaecological cancers, considering cancer type, individual risk and symptoms
- Apply current guidance to HRT decisions after endometrial cancer using practical case-based learning
- Compare non-hormonal treatment options, from CBT and established medicines to newer treatments such as fezolinetant
- Support younger patients through treatment-induced menopause, fertility implications and longer-term health needs
