Today is World Menopause Day

October 18, 2021

Today is World Menopause Day which aims to raise awareness of the menopause and the support options available for improving health and wellbeing.

Be sure to check out this short video featuring Amber Markham, Group Director of Nursing – Surgical Services talking about her story around Menopause and how it affected her.

In the Trust’s continued effort to support health and wellbeing, we will be gradually increasing the range of resources available to our colleagues over the coming weeks and months.

All managers are particularly encouraged to take part in the sessions to help them understand menopause and how to support staff members who are going through the change.

As part of this effort, in partnership with our STP organisations a series of sessions on menopause are now available to colleagues who may wish to access these for widening their knowledge on a personal level. You can access the information and find out more by clicking here.

Details of the next two session are listed below:

  • 21 and 27 October –  menopause in the workplace: How an environment of acceptance and openness about menopause can help to create an improved culture change. Hear about how seeking the right support can help to increase productivity in the workplace.
  • 18 and 24 November – is it just hormones? Explore the major factors contributing to strained personal and working relationships. Discuss the direct and indirect impact of hormonal changes and how this may present.
