This learning session is hosted by Ontario Health as an activity of their Menopause Quality Standard Community of Practice
Ontario Health's Menopause Quality Standard focuses on the identification, assessment, and management of symptoms at any stage of menopause and in all health care settings for people living in Ontario. Released in October 2025, it is Canada's first-ever quality standard dedicated to menopause care. The Community of Practice (CoP) was established to support it implementation in all settings, with a particular focus on primary care.
At this interactive session, clinicians and health care teams will:
- Hear from fellow clinicians about what they are doing – and learning – as they improve menopause care in clinical practice.
- Learn about the Academic Detailing service from the Centre for Effective Practice.
- Get updates on the Community of Practice and plans for future learning sessions and supports.
This session is open to all clinicians and healthcare teams.
Note: Registering for this session will also grant you access to the learning session in June 2026. While CoP membership is not required to attend, joining the CoP is encouraged for those who want to stay connected and continue learning.
