Menopause

Did you know that menopausal women are the fastest growing population at work? Or that around 8 out of 10 menopausal women are in work?

Whilst some women sail through menopause, 3 out of 4 experience symptoms and as many as 1 in 4 have serious symptoms. However around half have never consulted a healthcare professional about their menopause.

Research also shows that the majority of women are unwilling to discuss menopause related health problems with their line managers, or ask for any support they may need.

Here at SaTH, we’re passionate about the wellbeing of our colleagues and that means talking about menopause openly.

The staff menopause clinic is a safe confidential space with an opportunity to discuss your personal experience with your specialist Occupational Health Nurse, including symptoms and potential treatment options and also gain further knowledge and understanding about this specific life stage.

These clinics are here to help women ask any questions and feel more confident speaking about their symptoms and obtaining help to manage these symptoms.

They will help to raise awareness of menopause and will provide support in managing symptoms and wellbeing for people experiencing the menopause.

Menopause Meet Ups (ICS)

These events bring women together to share their experiences of the menopause. The sessions will be held virtually via Teams and is an informal peer support group where people are free to contribute to the conversation or simply listen to others talk about their experiences.

Menopause Meet Ups are here across the ICS in order to help women open up and feel more confident speaking about their experiences. It will also help to banish any unhelpful myths, raise awareness of this important topic, and positively impact staff health and wellbeing levels.
