Bone Health in Menopausal Women – Is MHT Enough?
Menopause-related oestrogen loss accelerates bone decline and fracture risk. While MHT helps preserve bone, it is not always sufficient alone. This course equips healthcare professionals with practical strategies for assessment, prevention, and comprehensive management of bone health in menopausal women.
