Template detail

What is the calculator for and who produced it?
The Greene Climatic Scale (GCS) is a tool to help identify where a patient is on their menopause journey, produced by Dr Greene.   It can be used to assess in different symptoms, before and after menopause treatment.  The three main areas that are being measured are       1. Psychological 2. Physical and 3. Vasomotor.   

How should it be used?

The calculator should be used during the menopause and HRT review.  

How does the scoring system work? 

It asks about patient's menopausal symptoms and allocates points for different symptoms. It provides a scale on the severity of problem as follows:
Severity of problem Score
