📣 NEWS ABOUT NEW NICE GUIDELINES (UK)

Well, they're out. I've read them for myself, and they're a bit of a mixed bag. There are a few articles about this doing the rounds, some of which in themselves contain inaccuracies and misinformation about menopause and HRT 🙄 So, if you read any of those, please look out for duff stuff! This seems to be less woolly than the rest of the articles I've read so far: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/nov/07/hrt-should-be-offered-as-first-line-treatment-for-menopause-says-nice Here's the link to the updated guidelines: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng23/chapter/Recommendations#individualised-care There are loads of links to other documents/guidance notes in this, and it's probably not as easy to understand as the previous 2015 guidance that this replaces. I'm not going to pass personal comment on it - they are what they are and these are what we have to work with. Also, enough people better qualified and more experienced than me have already said a fair bit! As I said and insinuated up there 👆 beware woolliness and obfuscation, including comments from folk with an axe to grind or an ulterior motive... 👀 ♥️ Please be aware that any links to NICE guidelines provided to date may link to the old guidelines, not the newly updated ones when referencing previous posts, handbooks etc. I'll be updating our M-brace handbooks in due course as necessary... 🙂♥️
