Happy New Year everyone - very exciting news - get your radios tuned in to Woman's hour on Radio 4 next week ... yes all week! If you miss it or are unable to listen to a radio during the morning I'm sure they will put some of the material into a podcast.
Have a look at the BMS news alert below - yours truly will hopefully be joining in at some point from the Edinburgh studio
Radio 4 Woman’s Hour and BBC Radio Sheffield week-long menopause focus
BBC Radio Sheffield is to join forces with Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour for a week-long series looking at the impact the menopause is having on women’s lives.
The investigation will be jointly presented by Jane Garvey from Woman’s Hour and BBC Radio Sheffield’s mid-morning presenter Paulette Edwards. Jane and Paulette will kick the series off on Monday January 15th with a phone in programme to be broadcast on both stations from 10am where listeners share their personal experiences of the menopause. And on Tuesday January 16th, new data from a poll commissioned by Woman’s Hour and BBC Radio Sheffield will be released. The poll investigates how the menopause affects British women at work, in their relationships, and the treatments they found effective.
