Creating Menopause Confident Prescribers for Improved Patient Outcomes

by Theramex with support from The Studio × Uniphar

Summary of work

The Studio was approached by Theramex to develop a bespoke menopause mentoring initiative, aligning with the Government’s women’s health strategy to improve UK primary care HCPs knowledge of menopause, and fulfil Theramex’s strategic commitment to support women’s health across all life stages.
The Theramex Menopause Mentoring Programme is an innovative digital initiative, that unites expert clinicians and HCPs from across the UK for tailored menopause mentoring.
The online programme facilitates small group informal mentoring and 1:1 sessions designed to increase HCP confidence in menopause diagnosis and management, identifying appropriate treatment and managing patient questions.
Through interactive workbooks and web-based supporting materials HCPs are empowered to learn flexibly around their busy schedules, enhancing accessibility and convenience.
The programme has proven extremely successful, exceeding all targets and receiving incredibly positive feedback. 100% of mentees reported increased knowledge in menopause diagnosis and management following mentoring.
