Misdiagnosis and Underdiagnosis: Many women experience menopause symptoms that are misattributed to anxiety, depression, or other unrelated conditions, leading to inappropriate referrals and delayed treatment.
Lack of Standardised Education: Despite menopause affecting half the population, most clinical training barely covers it, leaving professionals under-equipped to support patients effectively.
Patient Dissatisfaction and Risk of Harm: Without adequate care, patients lose trust and may seek unsafe alternatives online or disengage from healthcare services altogether.
Lack of Knowledge of Treatment Options: From outdated HRT myths to overlooked non-hormonal medications for those unable to take HRT.

Michelle Rowlinson is a Senior MSK Physiotherapist and Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner with a passion for improving the way menopause is recognised, understood and managed across healthcare, workplaces and society.
Her mission is deeply personal. She has experienced menopause from every angle.
As a clinician who was never taught the true impact hormones can have on physical and mental health.
As a patient who spent years feeling confused, frightened and repeatedly misdiagnosed before discovering hormones were the missing piece.
And as a former Work Capability Assessor who saw first-hand how many women were struggling with symptoms that neither they nor the professionals supporting them recognised as hormone-related.
Those experiences fuelled her determination to close the menopause knowledge gap.

"This course transformed my approach to menopause care. I now feel equipped to support my patients through this critical life stage."
"Well structured and easy to apply to real clinical situations. It helped me feel confident discussing symptoms and treatment options, even with complex cases."
"It was an eye opener the amount of symptoms menopause can cause or how it could affect other conditions a woman may already have."
Whether you're new to menopause education or looking to build on existing knowledge, this programme gives you practical skills you can apply with confidence.
Most menopause training covers the basics: hot flushes, HRT, the main hormones. BALANCE™ goes much further. It's built around pattern recognition across the whole person, not a symptom checklist. If you've done awareness-level training, this will change how you think about what you're seeing in practice.
Yes. This programme is specifically designed for any health professional who sees adult women, regardless of specialism. Physios, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, occupational health teams and healthcare assistants have all taken this. You don't need to prescribe to benefit from understanding what you're looking at.
The programme carries 60 CPD credits so in most cases yes. Check with your professional body or employer about what they will reimburse, but many participants have had this covered in full.
The programme is self-paced and designed to fit around clinical work. One module unlocks per week once you've completed the three lessons, quiz, learning activity and reflections for that module. Each lesson typically takes two to three hours, so most participants dedicate that amount of time per week
The programme is self-paced so there is no penalty for taking longer. You keep access and can pick up exactly where you left off.
The programme covers the different types and preparations of HRT in depth, including how they work, current guidance and contraindications. It won't tell you what to prescribe for a specific individual, as that depends on clinical judgement in the moment, but it will give you a much stronger foundation for making those decisions confidently and for understanding which options may be most appropriate for different presentations. For those who don't prescribe, it will give you a solid understanding of the options available so you can help women go into those conversations with their GP or specialist better informed and better prepared.
Yes. Many of the long-term effects of hormonal change continue in postmenopause and are frequently missed or misattributed to ageing. This programme will help you understand what to look for, what questions to ask and why menopause awareness matters for the women in your care regardless of their age.
