There are 3.5 million women over 50 in the workplace in the UK and women make up 77 per cent of the 1.3 million people in the NHS workforce alone – so why do we not talk more about the menopause when it affects so many of our colleagues and loved ones?
West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership is working with people affected by the menopause across health and social care to stamp out the taboo and stigma that still exists.
We’re doing this in partnership with Henpicked, an online community for ‘women who weren’t born yesterday’ and the Primary Care Women’s Health Forum through its #RockMyMenopause campaign.
Whether you’re a person experiencing perimenopause or menopause, a friend, partner or family member of someone who is, or whether you’re a leader or healthcare professional – join us to get informed, make a difference and help us to bring menopause to the mainstream.
Below is a series of webinars on wellbeing and the menopause. Please watch the videos:

As people managers and health and care leaders, we are responsible for ensuring we support our colleagues through every stage of their life.
