She is a member of several prestigious organisations, including the Royal Society of Medicine and the International Menopause Society, highlighting her commitment to her field. Lauren says, “Menopause impacts women, transgender men, non-binary and gender questioning colleagues. Much of the research has focused on women [...]. Everyone needs to know about menopause.​ We will all live, work or socialise with someone going through it. Understanding what it is, how to talk about it and being able to access or signpost effective help and support means that we can end the unnecessary suffering in silence and stop people from leaving work and continue to flourish.” Lauren is the ideal choice if you require expert guidance to implement the appropriate support for the women in your business.
