Supporting doctors through the menopause Female doctors must be well supported through the menopause to reduce the risk of a potential exodus of passionate and skilled clinicians from the workforce, according to Medical Protection.
In its paper Supporting doctors through the menopause, Medical Protection said around one in five female doctors in the UK are aged between 45-54, when menopause is likely to occur. Many could be impacted by symptoms such as anxiety, depression, poor concentration, brain fog, dizziness and insomnia while doing their best to care for patients in challenging and complex environments.
It fears many of these doctors may leave medicine early without better mental wellbeing support, greater awareness from leaders and workplace adjustments.
