New CPD courses on menopause care
Thanks to funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, Jean Hailes for Women’s Health – in partnership with the Australasian Menopause Society (AMS) – has developed two free online menopause courses for GPs, nurses and midwives. The evidence-based courses are designed to help health professionals improve their management and understanding of menopause. Enrol today at jeanhailes.org.au/MEP.
Course options
Managing menopause in general practice
For GPs, this course is accredited for RACGP CPD and ACRRM PDP. It supports evidence‑based menopause management in primary care, including symptom recognition, lifestyle advice, non‑hormonal therapies and the safe use of menopausal hormone therapy.
Understanding menopause – for nurses and midwives
This CPD‑eligible course is endorsed by APNA, the Australian College of Midwives and the Australasian Menopause Society. It focuses on recognising perimenopause and menopause, understanding symptoms and strengthening the nursing and midwifery role in menopause care.
