Our new 'navigating menopause' programme

Launch of New ‘Navigating Menopause’ Programme, starting on 12th June 2025.

We are launching a new 6-week programme, Habits for Health: Navigating Menopause, designed to support patients to manage their symptoms by making lifestyle changes during the stages of menopause.  

Building upon the success of the generic existing Habits for Health programme, this new programme has been created by a multidisciplinary team at the practice, including clinicians, a health psychologist, and members of the Health Connections team. The programme focuses on realistic and manageable lifestyle changes.

The sessions will be held at the practice on Thursday evenings at 6pm (lasting 1.5 hours), starting on 12th June 2025. Facilitated by a Health Connector, sessions will also include guest speakers from the wider practice team. This programme is open to Frome Medical Practice patients.

The programme will cover the following topics each week: 

• Week 1: Understanding Menopause & Getting Started (Introduction to Tiny Habits)
• Week 2: Sleep
• Week 3: Movement and the Menopausal Body
• Week 4: Emotional Wellbeing
• Week 5: Eating for Your Life Stage
• Week 6: Social Connection and Identity

To register your interest, patients need to complete this online form.  

This programme has been developed in response to patient feedback gathered during women's health focus groups that we held earlier this year. During these sessions patients said our current menopause group discussion group has been invaluable for sharing information about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) education.
