Event Date: 
12 Apr 2018 - 18:00 to 20:00

When you hear the term menopause do you think hot sweats, night flushes, tiredness, lack of libido, anxiety, insomnia, weight gain, dry skin...? In this evening session Dr Joanne McManus will give participants an overview of menopause and provide accurate, up to date, evidence based information to enable women to make informed choices.  She will discuss perimenopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal phases  as well as the hormonal changes.  Joanne is a Consultant Gynaecologist and specialist in Reproductive Medicine in Belfast Trust.  This is being offered in partnership with UNISON Women’s Committee and links to wider discussions around the impact of the menopause on women at work.
