Menopause awareness promoted at Specsavers

Teams from three Specsavers practices in the Midlands attended a recent presentation to learn more about symptoms related to the menopause and how to support patients and colleagues.

GP and menopause specialist Dr Sarah Ball spoke to employees from Sutton Coldfield, Mere Green and Aldridge branches about recognising the menopause and how changes to diet, exercise and alcohol consumption can help symptoms.

‘It was brilliant to hear Dr Ball’s insights. As health care professionals, we have more knowledge to advise our patients who may have symptoms related to the menopause.

'From a personal point of view the team attending learned how symptoms that they may encounter may be related to menopausal changes,’ said retail director Tim Goodhew.
