"We don't really understand about perimenopause ... there's no education"

Breakfast on BBC CWR

Available for over a year

Dr James Gill is a GP and lecturer at Warwick Medical School. Rachel News is a presenter on BBC CWR and hosts a menopause podcast called 'On My Last eggs'. They came together on CWR Breakfast with Phil Upton to discuss the wider issues and problems women face when it comes to menopause, after the TV programme Sex, Myths and the Menopause presented by Davina McCall highlighted the lack of support faced by women. Rachel would like to see a leaflet being posted through women's doors at the age of 45 to highlight the symptoms they could be preparing for. James has offered to try and make that happen.
