Patient reassurance regarding HRT prescriptions
We understand that the recent BBC One Panorama programme may have raised concerns about menopause treatment.
At Birmingham Menopause Clinic, our specialists are fully accredited by the British Menopause Society (BMS) with advanced training in menopause care. Our specialists also practice at Birmingham Women’s Hospital and University Hospitals Birmingham Solihull NHS trusts. We strictly adhere to BMS guidelines to ensure safe and effective HRT treatment.
HRT, when prescribed within national guidelines, generally offers more benefits than risks. Regular reviews, at least annually, are recommended to ensure your treatment remains appropriate.
In certain cases, such as Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), higher-than-licensed doses of HRT may be necessary, but only under the supervision of a BMS-accredited menopause specialist.
If you have concerns about your menopause treatment, please contact us or your GP for further advice.
