The Change Society network is an informal, safe space where any colleague affected by any aspect of menopause or wanting to learn about menopause, can join a conversation, and feel part of a community rather than tackle this alone and benefit from speaking to like-minded colleagues.

Outpatients Manager, Wendy Hewitt, has recently taken over the role of Chair. She said: “When I was asked to chair, I said yes because wanted to be able to provide a safe space for peer support so that colleagues can share stories, help and advice.

“Ultimately I want them to know that they are not alone in what is happening to them and that it’s all ok. It’s about giving a sense of normalisation to a natural part of every woman's life, recognising the impact on them and their loved ones.”

Now that Wendy has been appointed as Chair, the network can resume their meetings and the next few dates are below. The first sessions will be held on MS Teams. If you would like an invite, please email odteam@cht.nhs.uk
