This event is now ONLINE only.
The Inns of Court Alliance for Women are holding a Menopause Workshop with contributions from leading legal and medical practitioners.
A panel of speakers will discuss the menopause, the variety of ways it can impact those at the Bar and in the Judiciary and how we might address its impacts. The aim of this event is to both educate and progress the discussion about how we individually and collectively can address the impact of the menopause on the retention and progression of women in the law.
