Why we need to keep talking about the menopause

A few years ago I would probably have been reluctant to have this conversation. Recently I attended a breakfast with guest speakers Carolyn Harris MP and Penny Lancaster, who have done so much to lift the taboo on this subject. There is still more to do, but it's encouraging to see this subject being talked about. According to a recent report, the rate of women leaving jobs due to menopause symptoms would represent 333,000 of the population of woman aged 45-55, a significant talent drain.
