Empowering Conversations with Bengali Women on Menopause
Bengali women in Greenwich took part in an informative session on menopause, hosted by their local NHS team. Organised specifically for the Bengali women’s group following their regular yoga class, the session offered a welcoming space to ask questions, share personal experiences, and access reliable information about menopause.
The event was the result of a partnership between NHS South East London Integrated Care System (SEL ICS), the Southeast London Gynaecology Network, the Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG), and Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust.
The Gynaecology Network operates as part of the Acute Provider Collaborative (APC), which brings together the three acute hospitals in South East London. The Bengali women’s focus group was made possible thanks to a ‘menopause grant’ awarded to the APC by NHS London, aimed at improving menopause care across the region
Dr. Nele Dumpert, Clinical Lead for the Women’s and Girls’ Health Hub in Greenwich, attended the session and answered questions, offering medical information and addressing common concerns related to menopause.
