Closing the gender health gap can’t be our responsibility alone, so it is refreshing to see that a huge part of Livi’s campaign is the re-education of doctors.

Over a quarter of women don’t believe that doctors are properly trained in all aspects of women’s health – which isn’t surprising, given that a 2021 Freedom of Information request by Menopause Support found that 41% of UK universities don’t teach mandatory menopause education. Now Livi had pledged additional free training on women’s health to its own GPs and more than 10,000 doctors across the country.

More also needs to be done by the scientific community to ensure that medical research is done on women so that their symptoms are better understood. But if you are worried about your health and feel like one of the 49% of women who aren’t listened to by their doctor, this handbook could be a vital way into the conversation with your GP.
