Communicating the benefits and risks of HRT
It is essential to provide reliable evidenced-based information on the benefits and risks of HRT to aid shared decision making between women, trans men and non-binary people registered female at birth and health care professionals when discussing management options. The following support is available to help facilitate discussions.
Support from NICE
NICE has published:
- a discussion aid on HRT and the likelihood of some medical conditions, to support GPs in their discussions with patients
- a visual summary on the management of genitourinary symptoms
- information to support shared decision making and a guideline on shared decision making that clinicians can also use to support discussions on management options for menopause-associated symptoms.
Support outside of NICE
- GP Evidence has summarised the evidence on the benefits and risks of HRT for menopause.
