Milestones

Taking place every five years from the age of 40, we think that NHS Health Checks are the perfect opportunity for the majority of women to see a healthcare professional before perimenopause starts to learn more about what to expect, and then again during and after menopause for continued care.

Research has revealed that 90% of premenopausal women want to know more about the menopause before it starts, and over 60% of women feel uninformed about the healthcare choices available during and after perimenopause, with women in perimenopause and postmenopause continuing to not know (63.1% and 64.2% respectively).
