World Menopause Day is an internationally recognised event established by the International Menopause Society in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The month of October is Menopause Awareness Month, and World Menopause Day is held annually on 18 October. It aims to break taboo and improve women’s health and wellbeing by raising awareness about the symptoms of menopause and the support options available.

Each year there is a theme to shine a light on different topics surrounding the menopause.The theme for World Menopause Day 2024 is Menopause Hormone Therapy, known in the UK as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

With a proportion of the workforce experiencing menopause, it is crucial to raise awareness about menopause at work.
