Diagnosing and managing PMS

13 Oct 2007

NAPS is equally committed to empowering all women with information that will improve their health awareness, diagnosis and treatment. Because of the poor current understanding amongst many GP’s of reproductive health symptoms, we consider that an immediate task is to provide PMS sufferers with clinically authoratitive information. In this way we hope to empower women to present their symptoms more effectively with the support of accredited information. To this end we are pleased to reproduce the latest clinical overview of PMS by NAPS chairman Nick Panay. NAPS is continuing its efforts to secure financial support to enable the Association to prepare and provide comprehensive Clinical Guidelines to all GP’s.
