Our most recent WHEN meeting

The most recent WHEN meeting took place on the 26th November and discussed menopause in the workplace.

We were given two excellent presentations form Andrea Penny from Tai Pawb, and Lara Morris from Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales. You can read Andrea’s blog here which kick-started our work into menopause.
