Menopause Research
We're dismantling the menopause stigma so everyone feels empowered at work
Professor Kathleen Riach launched the report "Advancing Menopause and Menstrual Health in Organisations (AMMInO): A National Study of Employees in Health and Social Care" on the 31st of October 2023 on menopause and menstrual health at the workplace, in collaboration with the Scottish Government.
This report, based on survey responses from over 6,000 employees across NHS Scotland, study seeks to understand the needs of women and people who menstruate. Most employees can continue to work through menstruation or menopausal transition without having a disruptive impact on their jobs. However, for those who do have menstrual and menopausal health experiences that have some kind of impact on their working lives, cultural, structural or institutional conditions can negatively impact and exacerbate these experiences.
