We want to hear your experience of going through the menopause/ peri menopause.
The work follows our Advisory Group’s decision to try and gain a better understanding of local people’s experience of menopause/perimenopause following feedback that we have received.
In the UK it is estimated that around 1 in 3 people are either currently going through or have reached the menopause with symptoms including anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes and irregular periods. This period of life can impact work, family & personal life.
We want to understand how this affects local people and the support & treatment available to you. We have launched a short survey so that people can share their experience quickly & easily but we are also looking to speak with people who are willing to share their story in more detail to gain a better understanding of their experience.
We are here to listen to local people and really want to hear how menopause has affected them. Telling us how well services have worked for you and what could have made things better can be used to help us make recommendations for change. Experiences can be shared anonymously if preferred it is just important that we get to hear them so please talk to us
If you would like to share your story with us in more detail or face to face please email info@healthwatchrochdale.org.uk
