The Irish Menopause was set up by Sallyanne Brady and Claire Peel - two ladies who suffered horrendously with their own menopause symptoms and met in an online support group. Ireland was lacking in knowledge, support and evidence based information, for women in particular, so they founded The Irish Menopause in April 2019 and the group now has 2700 members! Sallyanne and Claire chat to Dr Newson about the stories they hear day after day that are heartbreaking and unnecessary and how they are striving for change in Ireland.
Sallyanne's Three Take Home Tips for women in Ireland:
- Join The Irish Menopause - it's evidence-based support and you might find something you relate to.
- Find a doctor - if your doctor doesn't listen or you're not happy with what they have said, go to the next doctor and keep trying!
- Reach out - share, talk to others. You're not going mad, it's not just you, it's every other woman.
Claire's Three Take Home Tips on how women can help themselves:
- Talk to other people, go online and find support groups like The Irish Menopause.
- Look after yourself, don't feel guilty for taking time to yourself. Rest!
- Give Yoga a try! It can do wonders during this time of your life.

Today I went to my Gp for a smear , I was talking to the nurse doing the smear about having seen a gynaecology consultant with special interest in the menopause last week and been given hrt . I asked her if there was much support for women within my gps practice. She said there was little or non due to lack of training for both gps and nurses . So I asked her if she would like me to tell her where I found all my info and research from regarding all aspects of menopause. She was really keen to find out more so I told her about dr Louise Newsons menopause manual and dr Louise Newsons website . She was really pleased and thankful , and said she would access these resources. I also mentioned there were going to be menopause training courses soon for medical staff . It felt that this little conversation could be the beginning of something helpful to benefit women like me who have gone for help and not been helped within my Gp practice !
