Module Aims
The aim of this module is to enable participants to develop expertise in hormone replacement therapies (HRT) for the management of menopause. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the principles underlying HRT, including its benefits, risks, indications, and contraindications. The module aims to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills to personalise HRT regimens, monitor patient response, and adjust treatment plans as needed. Participants will critically evaluate the evidence base, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of HRT to make informed decisions and optimise patient outcomes.
