In recent months, we've heard from male members of staff who are interested in learning more about menopause to support their colleagues, partners, friends and family.

Menopause is something every woman will experience at some point in their lives. While it affects everyone differently, the hormonal changes associated with menopause can have an impact on someone’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Menopause side effects extend far beyond hot flushes, with an estimated 50 or more symptoms that can affect someone over the course of ten years or more. This can take its toll, particularly in the workplace.
As a University with around a third of our staff currently in this stage of their lives, we’re talking about menopause now more than ever. We aim to decrease the stigma and empower people to feel comfortable in having conversations about menopause – both those going through it and those around them.
It’s vital that men are also a part of the menopause conversation, as it indirectly impacts them as partners, colleagues and friends. If you’re a male line manager, it’s particularly important your team can talk to you if they need support, and you feel equipped to have those conversations.
