International Women's Day 2025 Panel Discussion: Beyond the Bleed

Beyond the Bleed: Panel Discussion chaired by Chloe Stevens

Many people receive only one or two lessons about periods in school, and if you’re male, you may not have had any at all. Without proper education, how can we distinguish between a normal and abnormal period?

The lack of awareness can have serious consequences, affecting women’s quality of life and delaying the diagnosis of conditions like endometriosis.

At this exclusive event to celebrate International Women's Day, this panel discussion will explore what constitutes a normal period, the signs of abnormal menstruation, and conditions such as heavy bleeding and endometriosis.

Joining the discussion are Professor Ertan Saridogan, Professor Joyce Harper and Dr. Jessica Farren, as well as representatives from Wellbeing of Women, who are leading the “Just a Period” campaign to improve menstrual health education.

This is an in-person event and pre-booking is essential. The event will take place at The Theobald Lecture Theatre, 86-96 Chenies Mews, London, WC1E 6HX.

The event will begin promptly at 1.00pm.
