Dear Colleague

British Menopause Society 27th Annual Conference

I am writing to invite you to join us at the British Menopause Society two-day 27th Annual Conference.

Menopause care: past, present and future

This year’s annual conference programme has been designed to provide a comprehensive range of lectures and workshops to refresh and broaden your knowledge of post-reproductive health and to give you the confidence to manage the menopause in the way you feel is best.

The Programme Planning Group, chaired by Mr Tony Parsons, has produced an excellent line up including an invited session from the Indian Menopause Society; the debate, which this year is This House believes that Vitamin D supplementation should be recommended to all women and the ever popular Menopause Café.

We are delighted to welcome Dr Robert D Langer from the University of Nevada School of Medicine, who is delivering the BMS Annual Lecture: Reassessing the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI ) HRT trials and Professor Bart Fauser, from the University of Utrecht, Netherlands who will give the Pat Patterson Memorial Lecture: Polycystic ovary syndrome: implications for menopause and future health.

The full conference programme is shown on pages 4-7.

It is good to be back in the Midlands, hosting our conference at Chesford Grange in Warwickshire. Set in 17 acres on the banks of the river Avon, the venue combines historic charm with a modern conference suite.

I look forward to meeting you and to a productive and enjoyable conference.

With best wishes

Our Mission• To increase awareness of post reproductive

healthcare issues• To promote optimal management through

our educational programme, publications and information dissemination

The challenge of post reproductive health management is increasing. As most British women can expect to live for 30 years or more beyond menopause, the consequences for immediate and longer term healthcare and lifestyle are significant.

British Menopause Society membership is open to healthcare professionals and others specialising in post reproductive health.

AffiliationsThe British Menopause Society is a specialist society affiliated to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare.
