Let's talk women's health ⬇️. In 2022. NHS England estimated that there are around 13 million people who are currently peri or menopausal in the UK, which is equivalent to a third of the entire UK female population, so the growing conversation is needed and essential. However, the flip side of increasing awareness IS needed;in the words of Karen Morton Morten, Founder and Medical Director at Dr Morton's - the medical helpline©, all that glitters is not menopause, so education is key. Karen and I discuss; 🎯 The importance of normalising menopause 🎯 Menopause education and the development of an AI-driven conversational app 🎯 The need for all employers to have a menopause policy but states that a policy alone is not enough 🎯 Advice for parents of teenage girls ( This one's for me!) 🎯 The downsides of menopause awareness, including the pressure on women to seek medical help and the false expectations created. 🎯 Group consultations 🎯 Virtual women's health hubs in primary care And so much more….. Karen is warm, funny and direct. Every podcast hosts dream 😍. In regards to normalising these conversations, I hope that by discussing women's health on our Business of Healthcare Podcast, I play can a small part in this. At THC Primary Care, I lead an all-female team, so I want to ensure I am educating myself and my family and can sign-post people to trusted resources. I hope this podcast can serve as a resource for you to reflect on and also help you start or continue your own research. This is for the men too! 🎧 Episode 293:https://bit.ly/BOHPOD #womenshealth #menopausehealth #perimenopausehealth #support #nhs #healthcare #businessofhealthcare
