Menopause and women's health courses, stage by stage

From the first signs of perimenopause to life after menopause: understand the changes, prepare for your GP appointment and plan food, movement and work around them.

  • Tools in every course
  • Certificate included

Menopause is when periods stop for good, and it is usually recognised after 12 months without a period. In the UK it most often happens between 45 and 55. The years before it, known as perimenopause, can bring changes to periods, sleep, mood, memory, temperature and the bladder long before periods end. NICE guideline NG23 sets out how the NHS should recognise and manage menopause, and it says women over 45 with typical symptoms usually do not need a blood test.

Our menopause courses are educational. They explain what NHS and NICE guidance says about options such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and lifestyle changes, so you can have a clearer conversation with your GP or pharmacist. They do not recommend a treatment, and no food or supplement in them is presented as a remedy for symptoms.

Practical help runs through each course: symptom trackers that build a picture over several weeks, meal planners that follow the Eatwell Guide with attention to calcium, vitamin D and fibre, strength plans, and letters and scripts for asking about workplace adjustments. In England, an HRT prescription prepayment certificate can reduce what you pay for HRT items; prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

What the menopause tools do

  • Symptom trackers and diaries: record flushes, mood, sleep, focus or bladder habits over several weeks, then download a summary for your appointment.
  • GP and HRT question lists: the questions to ask, written down in advance so nothing is forgotten in a short appointment.
  • Options comparison sheet: an education-only overview of the choices described in NHS and NICE guidance.
  • Meal planners and shopping lists: four weeks of balanced, simple meals for midlife.
  • 8-week strength plan and workout log: a progressive plan that can be adjusted on days when symptoms are worse.
  • Adjustments request letter and manager script: a structured way to ask for support at work.

When to see your GP

Book a GP appointment if:

  • symptoms are affecting your daily life, work or relationships
  • you are under 45 and your periods have become irregular or stopped, or you have other menopause symptoms
  • you have any bleeding after menopause, meaning 12 months or more after your last period
  • your periods become very heavy, or you bleed between periods or after sex

If you have felt low most days for two weeks or more, talk to your GP. If you are thinking about ending your life, go to A&E or phone 999 straight away; Samaritans is also free to call at any time.

Menopause courses: your questions

Do I need a blood test to know I am in perimenopause?

Usually not if you are over 45. NICE guidance says perimenopause and menopause can normally be recognised from your symptoms and periods. Tests may be used for women under 45, and your GP will decide what is right for you.

Will a course tell me whether to take HRT?

No. The courses explain what HRT is, what the NHS says about its benefits and risks, and the alternatives, so you can make a decision with your GP. They do not recommend any treatment.

Is there a special menopause diet?

There is no official menopause diet in the UK. The NHS advises a healthy, balanced diet, weight-bearing exercise and enough calcium and vitamin D, which the nutrition courses turn into weekly meal plans.

Who are the menopause courses written for?

Women and anyone going through perimenopause or menopause. Partners, family members and managers who want to understand what someone is going through also find them useful.

Can the Menopause at Work course help me talk to my employer?

Yes. It includes a letter template, a symptom-at-work diary and a conversation script. It also explains where Acas and equality guidance fit in, without giving legal advice.

What if my menopause started early?

Menopause before 40 is known as premature ovarian insufficiency, and it needs assessment and support from a GP or specialist. The courses give general information, but your care team should guide your treatment.
