Cheshire and Merseyside Menopause Survey

News - 1 August 2022

Cheshire and Merseyside Gynaecology Network Menopause Special Interest Group have launched the Cheshire and Merseyside Menopause Survey.

They would like to improve people’s experience of menopause in Halton and the surrounding areas. The survey results will give the Cheshire and Merseyside Gynaecology Network vital information about your experiences, what you need and what you feel is missing. It will help to shape future Menopause services in Cheshire and Merseyside.

Background

The Cheshire and Merseyside Gynaecology Network is a network encompassing clinicians and non-clinicians across Cheshire and Merseyside.  The network focuses on health inequalities and how to address these in collaboration with work that is already taking place in the wider system and to look at key priorities.  On of the key priority areas for the Network is the Menopause which has resulted in a Menopause Special Interest Group (SIG) being set up.

Menopause SIG 

The group has a membership of primary and secondary care clinicians, and the group is looking at equity of menopause services across Cheshire and Merseyside, menopause education and training and engagement with menopausal women/people. 

The survey closes on 31 August and the results will be shared by Cheshire and Merseyside Menopause Special Interest Group.

NHS ask for views on hospital gynaecology and maternity services in Liverpool

A six-week public engagement has launched today (15/10/2024), giving people an opportunity to comment on the issues facing hospital gynaecology and maternity services in Liverpool.

It follows the approval of a case for change by the board of NHS Cheshire and Merseyside at a meeting on the 9th October 2024.

The case for change highlights that the biggest challenge facing these services is the fact that they are located on a different site to most other acute and specialist care, which can cause problems and delays with care – Liverpool Women’s is the only specialist centre for gynaecology and maternity in the country where this is the case.
