We would love you to join us for this event, brought to you by the pro-women committee to mark World Menopause Day. Menopause is a life phase that all women and many trans and non binary people go through and every person’s experience of perimenopause and menopause is different.

Join us and our expert panel who will share lived experiences and explore ways of empowering women to take control of their menopause journey and face it with confidence, knowledge and support – an aspect of life to be embraced rather than feared. This is an inclusive event and we actively encourage all to join us. The panel will provide clear, factual evidence to demystify this phase of life whilst exploring ways to support the women in your life whether it be friends, family, colleagues or your staff if you are an employer.
