In this webinar our guest speaker Sue Porter discusses very openly about a few key areas involving women’s health, and why women’s health in the workplace is so important.
In this webinar we discussed
We looked at the statistics surrounding women’s health, 1 in 7 UK females will be diagnosed with breast cancer, there are approximately 7,400 new ovarian cancer cases each year, and this is increasing, more than 4 in 10 cancer cases can be preventable with early detection, 1 in 5 women in the UK have a mental health problem and too much alcohol consumption can increase the risk of female cancers.
We explored the three main female cancers, breast, cervical and ovarian, and the key signs on what to look out for, and what to do if you have a concern. The different types of screening for cancer that is available, and how and where to get the screening. We also discussed two further areas that affect women in the workplace, these areas are the menopause and stress. The menopause can be challenging for some women whilst they are going through the peri menopause and the menopause, and how some of the symptoms and side effects of the menopause can affect a woman and her work.
Life can be busy, and effectively managing a healthy balance of stress at work is so important, if someone is over worked or over stretched, this could result in someone being overburdened and stressed out, and the affect this may have, could potentially have a detrimental impact on their health.
The final part of the webinar was discussing the further supports that are available to help and support women health in the workplace.
