The NHS in South Yorkshire is holding its first menopause conference in a bid to improve support for those going through its symptoms at work.

The event, being held at Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria Sheffield on Thursday, aims to increase employer awareness.



Nearly half of the 72,000 people working in the NHS and social care in the county are women of the age group typically affected, the NHS said.

The event will focus on the importance of developing menopause policy.


What is the menopause and what are the signs?

Women going through the menopause could be offered paid time off and uniform changes under Labour plans announced on Tuesday to support women in the workplace.
