You will assist with the development and implementation of menopause clinics. Working as an autonomous practitioner, you will provide ongoing support and lifestyle advice to menopause patients on an out patient basis through one to one and group sessions where required. You will undertake patient assessments and a variety of nurse led clinics focusing on a holistic approach to menopause care.

Assessment, management, relevant clinical procedures, planning and evaluation of menopause care. Engage in all training delivery methods made available, including clinics within a SaTH.
