Meridian · Continuing professional development
Women's health after 50, taught at the level your patients assume you were taught.
Ten modules on the menopause transition and midlife physiology — staging, vasomotor neurobiology, hormone therapy prescribing, the genitourinary syndrome, bone, cardiometabolic risk, cognition and mood. Written for clinicians. Every substantive claim carries a grade.
The average WHI participant was 63 years old and twelve years past her final period. She is not the 52-year-old sitting in front of you — and two decades of prescribing behaviour turned on forgetting that.

Two decades of over-correction — what the trial actually showed, by age, by arm, and in absolute numbers.

From 'she needs HRT' to an actual prescription — with endometrial protection you can defend.

Non-Hormonal Therapy for Vasomotor Symptoms
For the women who cannot, or will not, take oestrogen — and there are many.

Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause
Progressive, under-reported, highly treatable — and almost never asked about.
50 min
Bone Loss, Fracture Risk and the Sarcopenia Overlap
The fastest bone loss of a woman's life happens in a four-year window most clinicians never screen.
60 min
Cardiometabolic Change After 50

Brain Fog, Mood and Sleep
Real, measurable, mostly transient — and frequently misdiagnosed as depression or early dementia.
