Consider how you would approach starting a conversation with people who you come into contact with in your day-to-day practice.

Relate this to your current area of practice and how conversations linked to menopause might arise. What might women ask you for advice about which might make you consider menopause? 

Some examples include: 

• “I need some KY jelly. Can you please point me in the right direction?”
• “I need some cystitis sachets because I keep getting water infections”
• “I am really struggling to sleep” “I need some more trimethoprim, my symptoms have returned”
• “I have really sore joints that have flared up over the last few months”
• “My periods have become really irregular and heavy over the last few months”
• “I have been feeling tired all the time and I am just not sure what could be causing me to feel like this. I have no energy or motivation”.
