An issue I found myself was with HRT when I availed of cross-Border surgery through the great scheme we have with the Kingsbridge hospital. However, as a HRT user, it never arose that I would have to stop taking my HRT because of UK policies. Obviously, none of us wants to be plunged into menopause during surgery as well and that is what happens. Are there any plans for a national perioperative HRT protocol for both sides of the Border because there was a huge lack of communication between both healthcare systems where there were mixed messages and nobody knew what the actual strategy was.
