PRICING
Menopause affects 13 million women in the UK workforce. Yet 73% of London employers lack proper policies for menstrual health workplace support.
A menopause medical certificate provides professional documentation of your hormonal health needs. It unlocks workplace accommodations that transform challenging symptoms into manageable work conditions.
What is a Menopause & Menstrual Health Certificate?
A menopause and menstrual health certificate is specialised medical documentation for reproductive health workplace support. It’s issued by registered GPs who assess hormonal health impacts on work performance.
This differs from general sick notes by focusing on ongoing reproductive health management. The certificate addresses cyclical symptoms and long-term hormonal changes affecting professional capability.
The documentation provides employers with medical evidence for reasonable workplace adjustments. It transforms personal health challenges into professional accommodation requirements.
