This guidance was produced by the NHS Staff Council's Health Safety and Wellbeing Partnership Group (HSWPG), through partnership working between unions, management and specialist advisors.

 

It was developed to support NHS organisations to improve the way they address menopause and work. This is complemented by principles for line managers and staff.

 

The group wishes to ensure this guidance is implemented with the same partnership approach. HSWG recognises that partnership working ensures best outcomes for patients and staff in protecting their health, safety and wellbeing.

  • organisations support the workforce
  • line managers support their staff
  • employees look after themselves.
