You may have seen Dot Davies’ ITV Wales documentary on Menopause, This Week: Tackling The Menopause Taboo, which followed the results of an ITV Cymru Wales survey, which found that more than a third of women said they have considered giving up their work because of their menopause symptoms. In addition, 60% said their symptoms have had a negative impact on their work, with 25% saying they did not feel supported by the workplace while experiencing menopause symptoms.
We were delighted that the programme ended with a commitment from Welsh Government to an all-Wales menopause pathway providing same high standard care irrespective of location, which is in line with our #NotJustHotFlushes campaign calls!
