MENOPAUSE WEBINARS
Learn more about the menopause

There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding the menopause, so it’s essential to know the facts – and a great way to do this is to arrange a webinar by a leading expert and public speaker. Norma Goldman, founder and director of The Menopause Exchange, usually presents talks and workshops but because of the current situation she’s presenting Zoom webinars instead.

Norma Goldman BPharm. (Hons) MRPharmS. MSc. (health promotion) has a pharmacy degree and is a qualified health promotion specialist. She has been presenting talks on the menopause for over 21 years, and her in-depth knowledge has helped thousands of women enjoy a more comfortable menopause. Her book ‘The Menopause – ask the experts’ was published by Hammersmith Press. Each issue of The Menopause Exchange’s free quarterly newsletter is emailed to over 10,000 people, including women, healthcare professionals, workplace managers and journalists.

Norma offers two webinars: ‘Understanding the menopause’ (for women, men, healthcare professionals and journalists) and ‘The menopause at work’ (for workplaces, companies, organisations, women’s groups, exhibitions/conferences and health spas and clubs). If you would like to attend a webinar, or would like to arrange one for your workplace, please email Norma on norma@menopause-exchange.co.uk.

‘Understanding the menopause’
Norma’s ‘Understanding the menopause’ webinars are suitable for women at or approaching the menopause, women who have had a premature menopause (before age 40) or a hysterectomy, or anyone with an interest in women’s midlife health. Post-menopausal women attend presentations too, and men are always welcome. Every webinar provides impartial, reliable, up-to-date and practical information on all aspects of the menopause, to help women make informed decisions about coping at this time of life. If you join the webinar, you’ll be able to ask questions, receive a factsheet and hear about other women’s experiences.

Topics covered include:
• General information on the menopause
• Menopausal symptoms
• Health promotion advice and self-help lifestyle tips
• HRT
• Complementary therapies and medicines
• Nutrition
• The menopause at work

‘The menopause at work’
Norma’s ‘The menopause at work’ webinars are aimed at managers, health and safety advisers and anyone else who is responsible in the workplace for the wellbeing of employees. The topics include:
• General information on the menopause
• Menopause symptoms that affect work
• Research and articles on the menopause and the workplace
• Discussion of the menopause at work for employers and what the workplace can do to support and help employees through the menopause
• Impartial and practical information on the menopause for both employees and employers
• Support from colleagues
