This Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme focuses on key hormonal, gynaecological, metabolic, and neuropsychiatric conditions affecting women’s health, with particular emphasis on the perimenopausal transition. Topics include perimenopause, Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), metabolic changes in perimenopause, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in perimenopause, and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in perimenopause.

The programme aims to enhance healthcare professionals’ knowledge and clinical competence in recognising, assessing, diagnosing, and managing these conditions using current evidence-based approaches. Through focused discussions, clinical insights, and practical management strategies, participants will explore the physiological and hormonal changes of the perimenopausal transition and their effects on physical, metabolic, sexual, and mental health.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of the CME programme, participants should be able to:

Perimenopause: Recognise the clinical features of perimenopause and discuss evidence-based approaches to symptom assessment and management.
Metabolic changes in perimenopause: Describe the changes in body composition, insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, and cardiovascular risk that occur during the menopausal transition, and discuss appropriate screening, prevention, and management strategies.
PCOS in perimenopause: Explain how the presentation of PCOS evolves with age, recognise the diagnostic challenges in perimenopausal women, and discuss long-term management of reproductive, metabolic, and cardiometabolic risk.
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause: Identify GSM symptoms, understand their impact on sexual function and urinary health, and evaluate appropriate hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options.

PMDD and ADHD in perimenopause: Recognise how hormonal fluctuation during perimenopause can unmask or worsen PMDD and ADHD symptoms, distinguish these from other mood, anxiety, and premenstrual disorders, and discuss current and emerging pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.

Integrated care: Apply a holistic, individualised approach to women’s health that addresses physical, metabolic, psychological, emotional, and social well-being.

Healthy Parenting Expo 2025

The Ministry of Health and Wellness and its partners presents the Healthy Parenting Expo (PHHPE) scheduled to take place on May 17-18 at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Complex.

The Ministry of Health and Wellness has identified perinatal mental health as a priority area of unmet need. Perinatal mental health, the mental and emotional well-being of parents during pregnancy and the first year of baby’s life—significantly impact not only the individual but also the development and long-term health of children.

In an effort to meet this need, a Perinatal Mental Health Action Plan was developed, with a public awareness campaign entitled The Hand Over Heart – Promise to Parent. The Hand Over Heart – Promise to Parent campaign is a dedicated initiative to support perinatal mental health for new parents across Barbados. As a part of the campaign, we plan to host the Healthy Parenting Expo, one of the sentinel events. This expo, that will be free to the public, will be educational, interactive, and offer an outreach opportunity for the promotion of wellness and healthy parenting.

Our conference theme is: The Hand Over Heart – Promise to Parent.

This two-day conference will center on:

Strengthening Families: Creating a Foundation for a Healthy Future Together
Equipping Parents: Strategies for Building Resilient and Thriving Families

The audience will consist of prospective parents, current parents, and community members. Alongside the main conference, attendees can participate in practical and informative workshops, including an infant and child CPR demonstration, a session on effective co-parenting, and a discussion on breastfeeding and child nutrition to help prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
