Happy World Menopause Day !

International Menopause Society (IMS) and World Health Organisation (WHO) designated 18th October as World Menopause Day. It is to raise awareness and provide more support for better health and wellbeing in menopausal period.

The theme for this year is Cognition and Mood.

Brain fog and memory problems are very common symptoms and can have significant impact on work and home life.

Today at St Wulfstan surgery, we are celebrating the day with all our staff and we are proud to be a menopause friendly team. Dr Viswa along with Nurse Tricia and Clinical pharmacist Mina are talking about menopause at lunch time.

We would like to thank Long Itch Diner for providing healthy Mediterranean buffet.

Our staff had wellbeing, relaxation gift pouches from Laura at Blossoms and Roses, and we highly appreciate our local community businesses.

Dr Viswa has gifted the latest book by Davina McCall and Dr N Potter ‘Menopausing’ to our practice manager Mrs Ward. It would be beneficial in her role for supporting staff.  

British Menopause Society has collaborated with ITN Business to bring an exclusive video Premiere today at 12.00. Menopause: Continuing the Conversation, hosted by Louise Minchin, showcases menopause news stories and misinformation, to nutrition, workplace policies and why HRT isn’t for everyone.
