BPLS Health Equity Series Presents:

The Menopause Divide – Why Is HRT Access Failing Too Many Women?

Despite widespread support for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) through clinical guidelines in the UK, recent research from the University of Oxford reveals a stark disparity: women* from Black and Asian backgrounds are nearly 80% less likely to receive HRT than white women. The gap widens further when socioeconomic factors are considered.

What roles do ethnicity, socioeconomic status, healthcare systems, and cultural competence play in shaping access to menopause care, and how can the Life Sciences community drive change?

Join Black Professionals in Life Sciences (BPLS), in partnership with Lucid Group, for a vital conversation grounded in data and lived experience. A diverse panel of experts will unpack the drivers of unequal menopause care and explore how the Life Sciences community can unite for change.

🔍 What to Expect:

• Key Study Insights
  Learn from one of the UK’s largest analyses of HRT prescribing patterns—highlighting systemic barriers and opportunities for reform.
• Patient Voices
  Hear directly from women and menopause specialists navigating the care landscape.
• Life Sciences Perspective
  Explore how clinical trials, awareness campaigns, and primary care can address root causes of disparity.

💬 Interactive Q&A and Networking
Share your perspective in-person OR ONLINE. For those in-person, light refreshments will be provided.
