This World Menopause Day, we are shining a light on the 2024 theme: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). HRT can be a crucial tool in helping women manage menopause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, and mood swings. As a treatment that replaces hormones that naturally decline during menopause, HRT provides much-needed relief for many women, improving their quality of life and allowing them to focus on their personal and professional lives.
At Pennine Healthcare, we are committed to supporting our colleagues through all stages of life, including menopause. We recognise that this phase can impact not just physical health but also mental well-being and overall quality of life. To ensure that women feel supported and empowered, we have established several initiatives aimed at fostering an inclusive and compassionate work environment.
In summary, our commitment is:
These actions wouldn’t be possible without the ongoing support and consistency from our Menopause Champions: Laura Walsh, Jo Wootton, and Lisa Burgin, who are dedicated to ensuring that everyone at Pennine feels informed and supported throughout their menopause journey.
We believe in creating a work environment that allows our team to thrive, regardless of the challenges they may face. This World Menopause Day, we encourage everyone to take a moment to learn more about menopause, talk openly, and support those around them. Together, we can break the stigma and make life more manageable for those experiencing this transition.
