Menopause and the Workplace Resource Pack<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is hoped that these resources can highlight the experiences of menopausal transition in the workplace, as well as providing clear steps for employers to follow to support their employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Periods are normal, but what is a normal period? Information leaflet<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This document pulls together key information on understanding \u2018normal\u2019 vs abnormal periods, when to seek support, and key resources. It also includes a checklist for going to the doctor with a menstrual health concern, and a tracking calendar. These can be printed and filled in at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) Information leaflet<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PCOS is a common, and a commonly misunderstood, condition. Therefore to support better awareness the ALLIANCE has produced an information leaflet which debunks some common myths, and answers some FAQs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Endometriosis Information leaflet<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Endometriosis affects around 1 in 10 women. To raise awareness of the condition and point people to resources where they can get support and advice, we have created this information leaflet with contributions from the Scottish Government and Edinburgh\u2019s EXPPECT centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premenstrual syndrome Information leaflet<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes in hormone levels across the menstrual cycle can cause physical, emotional and mental symptoms. With the Scottish Government we have created an information leaflet, that provides tips on how to manage these changes and seek support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelvic health Information leaflet<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support better awareness of pelvic floor health, and point people in the direction of tips, tools and sources of support that can help them maintain good pelvic health or manage any concerns, the ALLIANCE and Scottish Government have produced an information leaflet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimising future health Information leaflet<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
