In this episode of We Work Together; Dr Amy Tatham, Dr Clare Spencer, Dr Anne Connolly and Laila Ahmed talk about the menopause.

There are 3.5 million women over 50 in the workplace in the UK and women make up 77 per cent of the 1.3 million people in the NHS workforce alone – so why do we not talk more about the menopause when it affects so many of our colleagues and loved ones?
