Abstrakt: The Women's Health Strategy 2022 aims to improve access to Women's Healthcare needs, with menopause care being a key component to optimise. This strategy encourages the 'expansion of women's health hubs around the country and other models of "one-stop clinics," bringing essential women's services together to support women'.1 A service evaluation was completed at a local women's health hub in Oxfordshire to review referrals for specialist menopause care. The hub managed 75.1% (970/1291) of referrals in-house at the point of triage. Of these 970 menopause consultations, 10.7% (104/970) were referred onwards for secondary care management, with the remainder 89.3% (866/970) managed within the women's health hub. The service evaluation shows successful application of a local women's health hub in improving access to menopause care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
