The Newson Health Menopause Society is a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals and experts who are passionate about improving and understanding women’s hormone health.

For our next NHMS webinar, Dr Louise Newson will be joined by Professor Chris Harding, a Consultant Urological Surgeon who has a special interest in bladder dysfunction, continence, neurourology, urinary tract infections.

UTIs refer to infections of your bladder (cystitis), the urethra (the tube which carries urine out of your body) and your kidneys, and they can affect more than half of women at some time in their lives. Some women suffer with recurrent episodes, and UTIs can become more frequent and troublesome in the perimenopause and postmenopause phase of life. 

Together, they will discuss the signs, causes and treatments of both UTIs & LUTs and how these link in with the menopause. 

Every other month, NHMS will host an online session to focus on your clinical practice and support associate’s learning and development. In our Question and Answer sessions, one of Newson Health’s clinicians, or a member of the advisory board, will provide in-depth answers to some of your most common clinical questions. Have your clinical questions answered by our experts during the session utilising the Q&A function in zoom.

Many of us worry about dementia, particularly if there is someone in our family who has been affected. As there isn’t a known cure for dementia, doctors and scientists focus on prevention, by taking steps to improve heart health and reducing known risk factors, which include high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and smoking. There’s also some evidence that regular exercise, an active social life, and stimulating hobbies such as learning a new language, playing a musical instrument, or tackling puzzles  can help reduce the risk of dementia and cognitive decline.

In recent years, there has been a great deal of research into dementia, and some studies suggest that HRT could potentially reduce the risk of dementia, specifically Alzheimer’s, along with other neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s.

Join us for our next webinar with Prof Jonathan Rohrer & Dr Olivia Jones to discuss and explore Cognition, Dementia & the Menopause! 

The perimenopause and menopause can cause a wealth of changes to your body, mind and emotions. Physical symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats are well-known but many people do not realise the extent and nature of the changes that can occur to your mental state and your emotional wellbeing during this transition.

Around 60% of women are likely to experience peri/menopausal symptoms and 20% are likely to find that symptoms are severe and this can have a detrimental impact on a person’s quality of life and those around them.

Join us for our next webinar with Devika Patel & Dr Sarah Ball to explore all things relating to Mental Health & the Menopause.
