In support of International Women’s Day 2023 NIPC hosted a NIPC Series webinar ‘Menopause and Heart Health – The Essential Facts’.

A panel of experts from Ireland and Northern Ireland came together to share their insights on key challenges specific to menopause and women’s heart health. Women face many unique health challenges throughout their lives and this webinar explored cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and menopause. Our speakers shared their perspectives from General Practice, Cardiology, Gynaecology and the lived patient experience.
