What is being bought
Published requirement descriptioniverpool City Council (LCC) and its partners seek an insight agency to support the development of a city-wide menopause programme.
Understanding of the symptoms of menopause, how to access support (treatment, hormone replacement therapy) are not equal between women in Liverpool. There is more that we wish to understand in order to ensure we reduce barriers to care and support, and we are looking to define clear facilitators to better menopause support in our neighbourhoods.
