What I want my colleagues to know about menopause

UCL Menopause Network collated the voices of colleagues who experienced menopause to create an online resource to help colleagues and managers understand what menopause feels like and what support is helpful in the workplace. You can access this short course that would take about 15 minutes to complete in LearnUpon platform course catalogue or via this link: What I want my colleagues to know about menopause.

You can also view the resource launch event here and hear from Prof. Sasha Roseneil (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion), Prof. Joyce Harper (institute for Women’s Health) and Prof. Sophie Scott (Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience).
