Women who experience severe or complex menopause symptoms are set to benefit from enhanced support, with the official opening of a new menopause referral service in Southern NSW Local Health District (SNSWLHD) today.
The SNSWLHD Menopause Referral Service is part of NSW Health’s extensive menopause network, which includes four health hubs and multiple referral sites throughout the state.
As a part of this network, the SNSWLHD Menopause Referral Service will provide District-wide outpatient care led by a Care Coordinator and Women’s Health Nurses to support local women with severe and/or complex symptoms of menopause.
SNSWLHD’s Menopause Service is linked to South Eastern Sydney Local Health District’s Menopause Hub, which means women can access a comprehensive approach to managing severe menopausal symptoms through a multi-disciplinary team of medical specialists and allied health professionals, including women’s health nurses, physiotherapists, dietitians, and clinical psychologists.
