A message from Dr Neema Jabbar, GP Clinical Lead
Following the success of our last Women’s Health Conference we have put together an excellent lineup of speakers to celebrate International Women’s Day. We hope it will help further our knowledge of all things women related! A huge number of you have requested more training on HRT and menopause as we continue to see an influx of women in our daily surgeries looking for help managing their symptoms.
Therefore, whether you’re looking for practical advice, increasing your confidence managing common side effects of HRT, an update on sexual health, help in managing recurrent UTIs and genitourinary syndrome of menopause or just fancy an opportunity to get away from the relentless grind of General Practice, we look forward to welcoming you on the day.
