title: Reinventing the general practitioner menopause clinic--personal experiences.
abstract: Menopause is accompanied by a plethora of symptoms. The 10 minute general practitioner consultation is ineffective in addressing all these symptoms. My experience of offering a 1 hour assessment and management has very positive and encouraging results. Should this be made available in general practice and will it prove more cost effective in the long run and also lead to greater patient satisfaction?
