Overview of course
Menopausal symptoms can have a detrimental impact on quality of life, well-being and may also have a significant impact on personal relationships and professional life - with 10% of women leaving their jobs directly due to the menopause.
This course is aimed at anyone who wants to expand their knowledge on menopause and challenge the social stigma and taboo of discussing this topic.
