Misdiagnosed and misconceptions: Breaking the myths around menopause
More than 13 million women in the UK are going through menopause right now (and an estimated 27 million in the US). 1 in 10 of those women will likely leave their work as a result of their symptoms - symptoms that can last for up to 14 years.

More than 13 million women in the UK are going through menopause right now (and an estimated 27 million in the US). 1 in 10 of those women will likely leave their work as a result of their symptoms - symptoms that can last for up to 14 years. We've seen the impact menopause symptoms can have on a person's life - their relationships, their physical and emotional health, and their career. And yet despite the fact that menopause is something that so many of us will inevitably experience, it's still surrounded by harmful misconceptions. Together with Louise Jones (Chief People Officer at Clearscore), Eileen Burbidge (Executive Director of Fertifa) will discuss:-
- The misconceptions around menopause you've probably heard (and why they're wrong)
- How to support people through menopause at work, beyond a policy
- The emotional and physical impact of menopause symptoms and what this can look like
There will be plenty of time for Q&A with Louise and Eileen. Don't miss out!
