The symptoms and effects of Perimenopause and Menopause are not widely understood by people with learning disabilities and those that support them. This webinar, delivered by Karlene Green, Health Improvement and Prevention Community Nurse & Louise Jenkins, Strategic, Lead Nurse for Community Learning Disability Nursing, is to help you understand and recognise the changes that can occur through using the new Assessment Tool, along with introducing the easy read information we have produced. We will also talk you through the Pathway so you understand who to seek help from and what response you should get.
