Perimenopause is one of the three stages of menopause. It’s when menopause symptoms start but your periods haven’t stopped.

For many women, these symptoms can affect daily life – from energy and mood to relationships and work.

They can also start earlier for some, which is why recognising the signs and getting support matters.

Menopause will now be part of routine NHS health checks – offered every 5 years to eligible adults aged 40 to 74 – for the first time. By including tailored questions about menopause, more women will be able to get the support they need to manage their symptoms.

Dear Patients,

It is likely our grass will be being replaced tomorrow (weather pending) therefore some parking spaces will be reduced to allow for this to take place. Please keep this in mind when attending appointments.

With Thanks

Menopause usually affects women between the ages of 45 and 55, but it can happen earlier.

Symptoms can be severe and have a significant impact on everyday life – but there are ways to alleviate and manage them.

Dear Patients,

We will be having the grass area to the rear of the surgery replaced next week. This is likely to reduce some parking within the carpark to allow for machinery. Please keep this in mind when attending the surgery as you may need to find alternative parking.

Kind Regards
Barcroft
