World Menopause Day
At this year's World Menopause Day event we will bring together experts from women's health, fitness, and workplace support to share the latest evidence, practical strategies and the role employers can play in creating supportive environments for women experiencing menopause-related symptoms.
We'll also look beyond menopause, considering how women of all ages can take proactive steps to support their long-term health through movement, nutrition, muscle and bone health, prevention and early intervention.

Key topics include:
- Fitness, movement and maintaining muscle strength through midlife
