#MakeMenopauseMatter.
Sorry, don't know how to bring a direct link to the site. This is a petition asking people to sign for gps to have specific training to be more informed about menopause.

Hi Postmeno3, I've attempted to do a hyperlink, hope it works.  I read about this in the Guardian (vis a vis Davina McCall's tv documentary this week) and thought what a great petition.  Well worth signing I reckon!

I think the link worked, so shall do another for the Guardian article, let's see if that works too.

Me too! 142,889 at 18.08 today. Its clicking up signatures nicely. If you haven't seen what this is about, its a petition to lobby Parliament for GP's to receive mandatory training on the menopause, workplace provisions and school education also.
