Menopause marks the end of reproductive years for women/people who menstruate, affecting half of the population. In the call for evidence for the Women’s Health Strategy menopause was the third most selected topic for including in the strategy and it identifies a number of ambitions for the 10-year timeframe including education from an early age for girls and boys to increase understanding and reduce stigma, high quality personalised menopause care with better understanding of the symptoms and treatment options among healthcare professionals, and improved support to remain in the workforce.

We are holding a free two-part webinar series which is part of the work of OHID North East and Yorkshire and partners from the NHS, voluntary and community sector and academia. We aim to build knowledge, understanding and confidence about menopause and showcase examples of good practice from the North and beyond.
