Alison will be sharing some of the highlights of the Autumn/Winter 2016/17 issue, together with details of how you can get hold of a copy locally or even have it delivered direct to your door – perfect timing with festive entertaining and eating out just around the corner!

The change for the better

menopause

Why do women go through the menopause, when does it happen and what can you do if you’re experiencing symptoms that stop you enjoying life to the full?

Is HRT safe, is it good for you and how do you separate the facts from the myths?

If these are questions you’ve been pondering, this event from Henpicked will go a long way to answering them for you…

From 7.30pm to 9.30pm on Thursday 13 October, it’s open to all and everyone attending will be sent a free copy of the book Menopause: The Change For The Better before its launch on Tuesday 18 October.

Join Henpicked at The Beeches Hotel, Wilford Lane, Nottingham NG2 7RN to hear what Dr Louise Newson of My Menopause Doctor has to say.

A GP in Solihull, Dr Newson runs a private menopause clinic at the town’s Spire Parkway Hospital. She’s also a medical writer for numerous companies, writes healthcare articles for doctors and patients on a whole range of different topics and you may well have seen her on the BBC or read her articles in the Daily Mail, Telegraph, Good Housekeeping and Prima.

She has a particular interest in managing the menopause and feels passionately that women should be offered the correct information about treatment options so they can make an informed choice regarding management of their menopause.

Places at the event are £12 each, including tea/coffee and cakes and of course your FREE copy of Menopause: The Change For The Better. Profits from this event will go to The Daisy Network, a  registered UK charity supporting those affected by premature menopause…

Book your place here and don’t forget to share the information about the events with friends who may also wish to attend.
