NICE ISSUES FIRST GUIDELINE ON MENOPAUSE

November 2015 saw the launch of the first NICE Guideline on the diagnosis and management of the menopause. This is certainly playing an important role in raising awareness of all menopausal symptoms and in encouraging women to consider lifestyle changes to improve later health. The Guideline also clarifies uncertainty - both for women and for healthcare professionals - around both prescribed and non-prescribed treatment options.
