1. A 52-year-old woman presents with severe hot
flushes and night sweats. She has a history of
breast cancer treated with tamoxifen. What is the
most appropriate first-line management for her
vasomotor symptoms?
A. Low-dose combined HRT
B. Tibolone
,C. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and non-hormonal
options
D. Systemic oestrogen therapy alone
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For women with a history of breast
cancer, systemic HRT is generally contraindicated.
The MCPC syllabus highlights the importance of
risk/benefit analysis and considering non-hormonal
options, such as CBT and non-hormonal
medications, as first-line management in these
cases.
2. According to the MCPC Key Skills, what is a
critical component of assessing a patient’s mental
health during a menopause consultation?
A. Only focusing on current symptoms of anxiety
B. Inquiring about past history of mental health
problems, PMS, and PND
C. Reassuring the patient that mood changes are
not serious
D. Prescribing antidepressants immediately for low
mood
Correct Answer: B
,Rationale: Key Skill 3 requires candidates to assess
current mental health concerns and discuss past
history of mental health problems, including Pre-
Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Post-Natal
Depression (PND), to understand the full context of
the patient's wellbeing .
3. A patient is considering HRT but is concerned
about the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Which preparation has the lowest risk of VTE?
A. Oral conjugated equine oestrogens
B. Oral oestradiol
C. Transdermal oestradiol
D. Tibolone
Correct Answer: C
**Rationale: Transdermal oestradiol is not
associated with the same first-pass hepatic effect as
oral oestrogens, and the evidence suggests it does
not increase the risk of VTE. This is a key point in
risk/benefit analysis for HRT, which is a core
component of the MCPC syllabus.
, 4. The MCPC curriculum is structured around a
single Capability in Practice (CiP). What is this
overarching CiP?
A. To lead a specialist menopause service
B. To assess and manage individuals presenting for
routine menopause care
C. To perform complex gynaecological surgeries
D. To provide counselling for all reproductive health
issues
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The CoSRH states that the single
Capability in Practice (CiP) for the MCPC is that the
healthcare professional is able to use their
knowledge, clinical skills, and experience to assess
and manage individuals presenting for routine
menopause care .
5. A 48-year-old woman reports heavy, irregular
periods, poor sleep, and difficulty concentrating.
