Interesting programme which I thought covered lots in the 30 mins. slot it was given with the opportunity of phoning in to one of the Doctors for discussion.
As I stated in the other thread:
"It appears that Employers have been given 'guidelines' as to what support women may require in the workplace but I couldn't glean who from
.
"DH was a Manager and no way would he have been allowed under current Law to ask a lady what is wrong. Now guidelines at least will give managers the opportunity of telling Staff that these coping strategies are in place and 'if you ever need to talk about what you require in order to make your work/life style balance easier, you can talk to your Line Manager'. Of course Companies over a certain amount of employees have to have a Nurse on Site. But talking to the Nurse is different to talking to a Line Manager
"
However: menopause is 'natural', what else could it be - in the same way as periods are 'natural', 'angina' is natural …… it's when conditions become difficult to manage that people need to seek medical advice. It did mention that some ladies prefer to try to cope with it by natural methods or by taking HRT. Having choice is important for me. To be able to remain as symptom free as possible.
I wonder what has triggered these 'guidelines'
in order to generate a programme.
