#WeNurses - Thursday 7th July 2022 8:30pm (GMT Standard Time)
Nursing and the menopause
If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple. Here's a guide Tweet
Chat Details
Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses
As nurses we are very used to understanding the health needs of the people we care for and caring for women experiencing menopause and perimenopause symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes and irregular periods is a part of the roles of some nurses. However often we forget our own care needs and those of our colleagues; NHS Employers states 'Menopause is not just a gender or age issue, as it can impact on colleagues both directly or indirectly, and it should therefore be considered as an organisational issue. All managers need to know about it, and how they can support their staff' Given that 77% of the NHS workforce are women (NHS Employers) and the menopause potentially affects so many people within health and care either directly or indirectly what support is out there?
NHS Employers state "Menopause is not just a gender or age issue, as it can impact on colleagues both directly or indirectly, and it should therefore be considered as an organisational issue."
Research within the academic field indicates that some people are unwilling to discuss menopausal difficulties with their line manager. Increasing awareness of what the menopause is and the impact it can have on a female’s work-life is key to educating the whole organisation, in order to best support colleagues' and go on to say that awareness raising is one of the key things that can be done throughout organisations. With this in mind this #WeNurses tweetchat aims to explore how we can support colleagues in the workplace who are experiencing perimenopause symptoms.
This #WeNurses tweetchat will take the following format:
From 8:15pm Pre tweetchat 2 x poll questions
8:30 - 9pm Tweetchat 3 questions
From 9pm Post tweetchat 2 x poll questions
And ... here are the questions we will be exploring:
- Question 1 (poll) - Do you work with a nurse who is experiencing perimenopause symptoms ? Yes / No / Other (please state)
- Question 2 (poll) - Are you a nurse who is experiencing perimenopause symptoms? Yes / No / Other (please state)
- Question 3 (tweetchat) - What stops us from talking more about the menopause and how it can have an impact on our working lives?
- Question 4 (tweetchat) - What support is out there / needed for nurses experiencing perimenopause symptoms?
- Question 5 (tweetchat) - What can each of us do to raise awareness of the menopause and the impact it can have on nurses?
- Question 6 (poll) - Have you ever had a workplace discussion with colleagues around the menopause? Yes / No / Other (please state)
- Question 7 (poll) - Would you feel confident going to your manager if you felt that perimenopause symptoms were affecting your work? Yes / No / Other (please state)
If you've not joined a tweetchat before here's how:

Sooo much…. Not sure I can articulate it … it’s just not talked about … I recall my mum referring to it as “the change” and that was that ! So many taboos surrounding it #WeNurses https://twitter.com/wenurses/status/1545128517557420039 |

@WeNurses When I've worked along side older colleagues who have experienced symptoms, they have mentioned it, but it's very much been with the attitude of "oh well, this is just what happens." #wenurses |

@WeNurses #wenurses… not a nurse but a physio who follows your feed so hope this is allowed. I had no idea about the brain fog and anxiety… really struggle to focus sometimes. It can be quite embarrassing… Now realised opening up to friends and colleagues can help ???? |

@jomwlever

I think there is stigma around it. Are we expected to be stoical and just "get on with it" as generations before us have done. It might be referred to if the room is too hot or cold making it uncomfortable to work in #wenurses https://twitter.com/WeNurses/status/1545128517557420039 |

@WeNurses #wenurses I suspect I might be in the minority but my nurse manager is big on menopause & has just started providing set appointments for it. She's also introducing menopause "lunches" for staff so people can get together to chat & support each other |

@WeNurses Education and a culture of openness and compassion important for everyone to enable people to continue to work - there are some shocking stats on how many people actually do leave their job #WeNurses |

@WeNurses I'm not at that stage in my life yet, but from talking to colleagues who are, it still can be a taboo subject. I hope things are changing and we can work in teams where people who are experiencing menopause symptoms feel comfortable and safe to talk about it. #WeNurses |

@WeNurses Hi all I am perimenopauseal and found that I didn’t recognise myself at all. I reached out for support and got an amazing therapist through staff support and was fortunate to be referred to specialists at the Womens Hospital and was put on HRT. #WeNurses |

@WeNurses It’s worth talking to all colleagues not just those who have or may experience #Menopause #WeNurses The ones I have are genuinely interested and then can be supportive as well. |

I think we can help keep conversations going. We have health and wellbeing champions that can help signpost colleagues to support. Also remembering #selfcare @EhwMft #wenurses https://twitter.com/WeNurses/status/1545132543602790400 |

I think the most important thing is not to be afraid to talk about it and take time to listen … I keep saying this but be person centred with colleagues as you would for a patient #WeNurses https://twitter.com/wenurses/status/1545132543602790400 |

@WeNurses Very much same as others #WeNurses being open and honest with others about what's going on for you or someone you know. Use national nurses day to raise awareness of self care. Raise as part of your appraisal if experiencing. Does occupational health support with this. |

@ChristineCatley @WeNurses This can be related to all things women's health. I really hope we are on the way to improving this and breaking stigmas and taboos around women's health. An important step in achieving this is to talk! #WeNurses |
