"I launched this petition after hearing the same heartbreaking stories from thousands of women. Women who felt dismissed. Women who felt invisible. Women who knew something wasn't right but couldn't get answers. I believe women deserve better."

For years, I have had the privilege of supporting women through perimenopause and menopause.
Through my consultations, communities, memberships, workshops and social media platforms, I speak to thousands of women every week. My TikTok community alone has grown to more than 160,000 women and supporters.
And whilst every woman's story is unique, one theme appears again and again.
Women are struggling to access informed support for perimenopause.
Many tell me they have visited their GP multiple times before perimenopause is even considered.
Many describe being told they are simply stressed, anxious, burnt out, depressed or struggling with the pressures of everyday life.
Many spend months, and sometimes years, searching for answers whilst their symptoms continue to affect their confidence, relationships, careers, physical health and emotional wellbeing.
I believe women deserve better.
That is why I have launched a Parliamentary petition calling for mandatory perimenopause training for all UK doctors.
This is not about blaming doctors.
The vast majority of healthcare professionals are compassionate, hardworking and genuinely want to help.
The issue is that many doctors simply have not received enough education and training on perimenopause to confidently recognise symptoms, discuss treatment options and support women effectively.
If we want better outcomes for women, we must ensure healthcare professionals are given the training and knowledge they need.
Why This Matters
Perimenopause can begin years before menopause itself.
For some women, symptoms are mild.
For others, they can be life-changing.
Women regularly tell me they are experiencing:
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Brain fog and memory difficulties
• Exhaustion and fatigue
• Insomnia and disrupted sleep
• Heart palpitations
• Joint and muscle pain
• Loss of confidence
• Mood changes
• Irregular periods
• Reduced quality of life
Many women tell me they no longer feel like themselves.
Some become frightened by symptoms they don't understand.
Some begin to believe they are losing their minds.
Some leave the workforce.
Some struggle within their relationships.
Many suffer in silence.
No woman should have to navigate this stage of life without access to informed support.
What Women Are Telling Me
The stories shared with me every day are both powerful and heartbreaking.
"I was prescribed antidepressants three times before anyone mentioned perimenopause."
"I genuinely thought I had early dementia because of the brain fog."
"I went back to my GP again and again because I knew something wasn't right."
"I spent years thinking I was broken."
"I felt completely dismissed."
"I just wanted someone to explain what was happening to me."
These stories are not rare.
They are common.
And that is exactly why change is needed.
What This Petition Is Asking For
This petition calls on the Government to make perimenopause training mandatory for all UK doctors.
The aim is simple:
• Earlier recognition of symptoms
• More informed conversations with patients
• Greater confidence amongst healthcare professionals
• More consistent care across the UK
• Better outcomes for millions of women
