The Women’s Health Plan sets out how the NHS will Make Every Contact Count – clinicians will be encouraged to ask women about menstrual health and menopause during existing appointments. A working group has been established to develop this approach further.
Menopause is a priority area for the pathfinder Women’s Health Hubs, which will be launched in every health board area by the end of March 2026.
