Many women entering the perimenopausal stage still require contraception, yet may also experience symptoms, comorbidities, or risk factors that complicate prescribing decisions. This webinar explores how to assess women appropriately, determine who still needs contraception, and select options that balance safety, symptom control, and patient preferences. It also addresses common myths, patient concerns, and the role of combined hormonal contraception, progestogen-only methods, long-acting reversible contraception, and non-hormonal choices in this stage of life.
The session provides clarity on how contraception interacts with perimenopausal symptoms, how to transition safely as women approach menopause, and when contraception can be safely discontinued. It also highlights red flags, contraindications, and situations where onward referral may be needed. Practical case examples are used throughout, enabling clinicians to apply what they learn to everyday practice.
This webinar is suitable for pharmacists, independent prescribers, GPs, nurses, and clinicians working in primary care who support women’s health consultations. It is relevant for both those new to this topic and experienced practitioners seeking an update. The webinar is available on demand, allowing you to watch at your convenience and revisit key sections whenever helpful. Completion provides CPD evidence that can be retained for revalidation.
