4th ALL WALES MENOPAUSE NETWORK CONFERENCE

4th Wales Menopause Network Conference

Welcome to the 4th annual gathering of the Wales Menopause Network!

This year’s All-Wales Menopause Network meeting invites healthcare professionals from across Wales to come together for a powerful and much-needed conversation.

“Menopause: The Unseen and The Unheard” will focus on the often invisible and overlooked aspects of menopause — from the gaps in research and education to the experiences of all women and people from marginalised, disabled, and trans communities. Too many go unsupported, unheard, or misunderstood during this life stage. It's time to change that.

Poster Presentations: We are excited to announce a poster presentation opportunity, inviting trainees, young researchers and health care professionals to submit a poster abstract highlighting case presentations, research and great work that is taking place in the field of Menopause and Midlife health.

Join doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals for a day of insight, connection, and action. The programme will include:

• Sessions spotlighting underrepresented groups
• Discussions on clinical challenges, stigma, and structural inequalities
• Opportunities to network, collaborate, and share good practice
• Calls to advocate for more inclusive care and research

Don't delay... book today.... and be part of a community dedicated to empowering people, raising awareness, challenging assumptions, and amplifying the voices that need to be heard.

See you there!
