Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk

Christmas Special

Season 2, Ep. 7
•

2024 Christmas, end of year round up.


We thought it would be nice to end the year with a one off episode to help you keep on track over the festive period and to provide a brief summary of some relevant key messages, now the NICE guidelines have been updated. 


Don’t forget there are 2 series (6 episodes in each) already released, packed with an abundance of information for you to dip in and out of. Available on your usual podcast platform.


We would like to thank you all for listening and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
