Join a host of high-profile speakers this autumn for what promises to be a memorable event highlighting how Swansea University is taking on the menopause.
Host, Kate Lewis from ITV Wales will be joined by Carolyn Harris, MP for Swansea East, and Dr Louise Newson, GP and Menopause Specialist who has built up a global audience via the Dr Louise Newson menopause and perimenopause information podcast. Together, they will talk about the current menopause landscape across the UK, and why it is vital that more support becomes available for those going through the menopause.
Swansea University’s Dr Aimee Grant and Dr Rachel Churm will be presenting their findings on their menopause research and there will be further discussions on how Swansea University is addressing the menopause via teaching.
There will be an opportunity for both presenters and audience to share personal stories about the menopause and any questions can be addressed through a Q&A session.
We will also be identifying how the University can put in place its own support structures for those experiencing the menopause.
The event will take place on 20 October between 4.30 – 6.30 at the Taliesin Arts Centre. The event is free, but tickets must be booked via the Taliesin Box Office.
