Education Sessions

I have spoken at a number of menopause education sessions in a variety of contexts, including my GP surgery, women’s sports clubs, a healthcare staff wellbeing day, and a church women’s group. I recently spoke to a men’s group who wanted to be better able to support their menopausal partners and friends.

I have also delivered training on menopause care to healthcare professionals.

I prefer to speak in person but have been involved in webinars too.

Topics that I cover:

  • What are the menopause and perimenopause?
  • Potential symptoms
  • Lifestyle and wellbeing advice to help
  • HRT (hormone replacement therapy)
  • Non-hormonal options
  • Vulval, vaginal and pelvic health
  • How to support someone through the menopause
  • Useful resources

The content of a session can be tailor-made to suit your audience and the time allowed. Sessions are usually one to two hours, including time for general questions.

I can also cover other aspects of women’s health such as contraception, cervical smear tests and breast screening.
