Writing about menopause? Looking for case studies? The Menopause Exchange has a number of members who are happy to talk to journalists about their menopause experiences. The members are based in different parts of the UK, which may be of interest to regional publications as well as national ones. Many of the case studies are willing to provide a name and photograph, if required.
The Menopause Exchange, which was established in 1999, is completely independent and is not sponsored by any companies. It provides impartial, easily understood information to women and healthcare professionals. The Menopause Exchange quarterly newsletter contains articles written by top medical experts, such as gynaecologists, GPs, consultants, specialist menopause nurses, complementary practitioners, pharmacists, dietitians etc.
Articles in the Winter 2018/2019 issue of The Menopause Exchange quarterly newsletter include prescribing of HRT, fatigue and the menopause, smoking/alcohol at the menopause and blood pressure – the silent killer, as well as news and Ask the Experts Q&As.
