The Women's Network supports and encourages members to come together to discuss experiences and is a safe place for women to talk about issues that are important to them.

The network is a network for ALL to join encouraging inclusion and diversity, regardless of gender identity and focuses on the topics raised by the members.

Virtual Blether: Menopause Tea and Talk

For anyone who can't make it along to the site based Menopause tea and talk meetings (the Menopause Cafe sessions supported by the Work well leads), please feel free to join us for a virtual blether around menopause and peri-menopause.   

There are no experts and no formalities, just some lightly guided informal chat around menopause and peri-menopause with peers. You can join us in the Virtual Menopause Tea and Talk subchannel on Teams.

Future dates:

• Tuesday 23rd July 10.00-10.45

• Friday 30th August 10.00-10.45
