Support groups
ChelWest POI support - Premature ovarian insufficiency
Following on from the success of the premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) support group that ran for some years pre-Covid, this group has been reimaging to now run online and led by Claire Bellone the nurse consultant in the menopause and PMS service at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
Primarily for patients under the age of 40 attending the POI clinic, this groups is also open to staff or patients from outside of the Trust, similarly diagnosed with POI.
The groups offers a friendly supportive environment to talk about living with POI, long-term health implications, treatments and fertility issues.
