Abstract
A systematic review of the effect of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on menopausal symptoms (vasomotor, depression and insomnia) of women going through the menopause transition Implementation of live electronic advice system to a specialist menopause clinic Mapping the vaginal microbiome for menopause management Virtual Menopause Service Delivery During the COVID-19 Pandemic moments: The judges felt the presentation was clear, covered an important subject and showed how support can be provided to colleagues with menopausal symptoms working in a busy NHS hospital.
