The ALLIANCE and the Scottish Government are pleased to be hosting this free online event to discuss the menopause to mark World Menopause Day 2024. Menopause is when a woman stops having periods. Menopause means ‘the last menstrual period’. Menopause is a natural event and transition that women experience, however, the timing and symptoms are different for everyone.

This session will focus on empowering women through the menopause. We know it is important that women feel informed about what to expect during the menopause, and feel confident seeking support when they require it. For this session our guest speakers will talk about menopause signs, symptoms and treatment options, along with tips on talking about the menopause with your GP.

We will be joined by a great panel of experts:
• Dr Kay McAllister, Consultant Gynaecologist, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
• Dr Sigi Joseph, GP Partner, NHS Lothian

The session will feature presentations, and a short Q&A.

Please note that our speaker can’t give any individual medical advice, but if you wish to put a question to them then please email us by 11th October at whp@alliance-scotland.org.uk We may not be able to include all questions on the day.

This session open to anyone that wishes to learn more about the menopause. Health professionals are welcome to join, although discussion will not focus on diagnosis or managing menopausal concerns from a professional perspective.
