Review:
This updated handbook on menopause management should be required reading for all nurses working in the field of menopause. Its practical nature makes it easy to read and relevant to practice, especially for those in primary care.
Nursing Standard
This book on menopause is to be recommended for its authority, brevity and readability...Cultural differences in attitudes to menopause are covered...there is something for everyone. Designed as a handbook for those working in primary care and other health professionals, it includes many of the latest references for the researcher, and would provide an excellent background resource for the health writer.
Medical Journalists Association News
This publication provides a broad overview of menopause, contains some very basic information and includes alternative medicinal approaches that patients are likely to report using or are considering using.
Maturitas
The British Menopause Society's handbook is compact, informative and non-biased, and I wish I had come across it several years ago. It successfully guides the reader through the basic science of the menopause, towards treatment goals and strategies to manage the symptoms that women find distressing at this time of life...It is well written, easy to read and extensively referenced, by the editors. This is an authoritative guide, which serves equally well as a core text on the subject, or as a useful resource to dip into. As such, it should appeal to registrars completing their training, and to more experienced GPs who have been through the menopause many times already.
Update
This book is a useful resource that would be an astute personal investment for primary care nurses, in particular those working in general practice or in the arena of women's healthcare
