Important Information within NHS A&A
HRT Unopposed Oestrogens
Community pharmacies should have received the HRT Unopposed Oestrogens patient information cards by 16th January 2026.
If you have not received these, please email the CP team: aa.cpteam@aapct.scot.nhs.uk.
Pharmacy teams were asked to watch the video on HRT and engage in conversations with patients who fall into this category, using the patient safety cards to aid patient discussions. Please click here to access the video here. This should help to provide enhanced support for patients, highlighting the importance of taking progestogen alongside oestrogen HRT – where clinically indicated – to reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and its potential progression to endometrial cancer.
