I (Dr Shireen Hardman) have over 20 years of experience in General Practice, with a special interest in women’s health. I attained membership for the Royal College of General Practitioners in 2002, Diploma of the Royal Collège of Obstetrics and Gynaecology 2001 hold the Certificate for Management of Menopause Care– The British Menopause Society. I have been a GP Partner for more than 17 years, and I am also an undergraduate tutor at Leicester University Medical School, teaching wellbeing and stress management.
As a female GP who works in the NHS, I am increasingly aware of the acute, unmet needs of women who are perimenopausal and menopausal. I am also aware of the time constraints that are present in the NHS to be able to deliver this care. I have an interest in and an understanding of menopause from my experience in the NHS and from my continued commitment to attending courses and events to keep abreast of the latest updates in menopause management.

I believe in empowering women to help make informed decisions about managing their menopause by offering them evidence-based solutions which are safe and practised within the guidelines set out by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE). – Dr Shireen Hardman.
