Blood, Sweat & Tears - Menopause Event (Wednesday 18 October 2023)

News - 20 June 2023

Based on feedback received over the last six months, Healthwatch South Tees have heard that support for perimenopause and the menopause locally is varied, with the majority of experiences being negative.

As a result of this they are planning to hold an event ‘Blood Sweat and Tears – Menopause event, for professionals and members of the public to celebrate World Menopause Day on Wednesday 18 October 2023 at the Riverside Stadium 5-8.30pm. The aim of this event is to inform individuals what their options are to make an informed choice as well as educating professionals to best support local people on this matter.

They will be inviting a GP specialist in this field as well as specialists in nutrition, diet and alternative medicines to HRT as keynote speakers who you will be able to pose questions to in the Q&A at the end of the event. A range of relevant stalls will be available throughout the event for people to get information and advice from about things from wellbeing to lifestyle.

Food will be provided at the event and you will hear personal experiences from different communities to highlight what they found that worked for them and highlight issues Healthwatch need to consider for support.

Further details will be confirmed as soon as they become available - in the meantime, please register your interest here.
