Shhh let’s talk menopause… LOUDLY


Listen Later

In frank conversation, Liz Barton and Ami Sawran discuss the “hot” topic of the menopause.

Do you think this podcast won’t apply to you? Think again! Every single one of us will be impacted by menopause, whether it be ourselves or our partners, colleagues and clients.

So, let’s get these menopause facts on the table. Normalise

it to break the taboo surrounding it. Did you know there are 34 listed symptoms? This makes the menopause a unique
experience for all. 75% of people will experience perimenopausal symptoms that will negatively impact them, lasting on average a whole decade.

Liz Barton MA VetMB MRCVS, co-founder of Wellvet and Vetmums and Head of Communications for VetCT describes how for her the menopause was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, affecting her veterinary career when she wasn’t expecting it. With Veterinary Voices’ very own Ami Sawran BVSc CertAVP PGCert VPS PhD MRCVS, this podcast discusses the experiences of menopause for women in the profession and the impact it has on the profession through mental health and retention issues.  

We talk about the positive adjustments that can be made in

the veterinary workplace and Liz provides details about the first veterinary-specific menopause resources that are now freely available online through Wellvet.

Let’s feed this tiger and let it sit quietly in the corner!
