The CoSRH Menopause Care Professional Diploma (MCPD) and the British Menopause Society (BMS) Advanced Certificate in the Principles and Practice of Menopause Care (PPMC)
The CoSRH MCPD and BMS PPMC build on the foundation of the MCPC, providing advanced knowledge, clinical experience and leadership skills in menopause care.
The MCPD enables clinicians to independently assess and manage individuals referred for specialist or complex menopause care. It also equips you to manage and lead a multi-professional team delivering a menopause care service and to communicate effectively with the wider medical community.
The MCPD syllabus and curriculum have been reviewed by the BMS Medical Advisory Council and approved for BMS Menopause Specialist recognition.
The BMS Advanced Certificate (PPMC) includes both theoretical and competency-based practical components leading to formal recognition as a Menopause Specialist. It is designed for doctors, independent nurse prescribers and pharmacist independent prescribers who manage complex cases or accept external referrals in hospital, community or private healthcare settings.
Please note: the BMS Advanced Certificate is specifically intended for healthcare professionals managing complex menopause cases — approximately the 5% of patients who require specialist care.
