Aim:
A novel method of providing education and support to GP's was developed. The goal was to create a rapidly accessed peer advisory community to empower GP HRT prescribing.
Method:
A core group of doctors with special expertise in HRT were assembled on a GP interest group on the Telegram messaging platform. It is called 'HRT prescribers', an educational community with entrance by peer invitation. Most are GPs and number between 800 and 1000. Members post clinical questions and receive evidence-based responses to their dilemmas.
Results:
A survey of members was overwhelmingly positive. 98% agreed the group empowered them to be confident and feel supported in their HRT prescribing. 90% agreed the group helped improve access to HRT for women who needed it in their practice.
Conclusion:
This project developed, with the cooperation of specialists, a cost-effective rapid method of educating and empowering GP's to be supported to safely treat their patients in their menopause transition. With further support and development, we believe it is the model that could be adopted in many countries.

01:22Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...

Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
