Women’s Health Events at Bishopston Library in January & February 2026

Dear supporters

We are delighted to welcome back Dr Sam Morgan to the library for two events on women’s health in the new year. Sam is a Menopause Specialist Doctor accredited by the British Menopause Society with over 20 years of experience as an NHS GP. She founded Rethink Menopause to provide reliable, evidence-based information to individuals and businesses, and to enhance healthcare professionals’ education on menopause care.  You can find out more here www.rethinkmenopause.com .

Non-Hormonal Support for Perimenopause and Beyond :  Tuesday 20 January 6.30pm – 7.30pm
Join Sam for an empowering session designed to help you navigate every stage of menopause with confidence.
Discover evidence-based strategies for perimenopause through to postmenopause, focusing on nutrition, supplements, exercise, sleep, rest, and meaningful connections.

Understanding HRT : Tuesday 24 February 6.30pm – 7.30pm
Join Sam for a practical overview of HRT — from the different types available and how to get the best from each product, to recognising when testosterone may be helpful. We’ll explore benefits and risks, address common myths, discuss how long HRT can be used, and I’ll share tips on how to navigate shortages of your usual prescription.
 
Both events are free, and refreshments will be provided (donations welcome), but it is essential to book by via the following links

Bishopston Library is an amazing but underused resource in our community, and it would be great if more events and activities took place outside of opening hours. We’d love to hear from anyone keen to share their own skills and interests alongside the Friends group, whether it be to support people in our community to manage their challenges, or to introduce them to new leisure activities. Please contact us with your ideas at friends@bishopstonlibrary.org.uk

Thank you for supporting our library!
