The second National Menopause Summit will be held in Cork City Hall, on Friday, October 20. Hosted by broadcaster Gráinne Seoige, it will feature a keynote address from journalist and menopause campaigner Mariella Frostrup and panel discussions with Ireland’s leading menopause clinicians, professionals and advocates.

Summit co-director Sinéad McNamara hopes the event convinces employers of the need to support menopausal women in the workplace.
