We’re proud to announce that we’ve officially launched our CPD-accredited menstrual and menopause education training 🙌 💜
Menstrual health deserves to be recognised and understood at work, and this training gives menstrual education the same importance as established workplace learning, such as cyber security or equality training.
Did you know that nearly 50% of women have left work early due to period-related discomfort, yet menstrual health is still widely overlooked? This CPD-accredited course is designed to change that, helping organisations build safer, more inclusive and genuinely supportive workplaces.
The training raises awareness of menstrual health, menopause and related conditions, exploring their impact on wellbeing and performance. It tackles myths and stigma, encourages open, respectful conversations, and supports psychologically safe workplace cultures.
💜Here’s what makes the course unique:
- Complete in just 35 mins – learn at your own pace!
- Led by Vic Fytche, Global Health and Education Lead at TOTM, an accredited women’s health practitioner
- Includes guided videos, written modules, and ongoing resources
- Covers menstrual health and menopause aligned with CPD guidance
- Provide practical tools to support employees and implement reasonable adjustments
- Supports ISO45010 compliance and best practice
