Dr Claire Phipps, a GP and one part of the Menopause Sisters, is coming along to our CHFT Change Society* this month to share her knowledge.

The menopause can affect colleagues directly or indirectly so it's an ideal opportunity to find out more. Learn more about the menopause, recognising the symptoms and the impact it may have on colleagues you are working with.

The session will focus on:-

• Symptoms
• Link with mental health (mood swings, out of body experience, brain fog, anxiety)
• When to start taking HRT (effects of the lack of oestrogen)
• Links with physical health (breast cancer, weight gain, perspiration, effects on sex life)

It's on Thursday 20 July from 12 noon to 1pm on Teams.  

You can get an invite by emailing wellbeing@cht.nhs.uk 

* Colleagues from across the Trust affected by menopause joined forces to launch a menopause support community called Change Society. This wellbeing project provides a safe space where people can share their experiences of menopause, swap tips and resources, and take action to make the workplace more menopause-friendly.
