The Cedars Hosts a Free Women’s Health Event

The team at The Cedars Care Home in Bourne hosted a free event focused on Women’s Health this week. Over twenty members of the community joined Dr Sara Moran from the Fitzwilliam Hospital in Peterborough as she delivered a short presentation on women’s health and the menopause; before answering a variety of questions from participants.

Dr Moran brought a wealth of knowledge and specialised expertise in sexual and reproductive health; women’s health, menopause care and trauma-informed care; and she works at The Fitzwilliam as both a private GP and a staff grade doctor. Menopause affects not only physical health, but emotional well-being, relationships and quality of life. Dr Moran discussed the importance of lifestyle medicine along with medical treatments such as HRT; homeopathic approaches to the menopause and the importance of seeking advice for distressing symptoms. She was particularly focussed on the importance of individualised care utilising a person-centred approach to every patient.

Senior General Manager, Rebecca Aldred said: “We want to help and support relatives, friends, neighbours and members of our local community who are currently experiencing or approaching menopause. We are very grateful that we were able to work with the wonderful team at The Fitzwilliam Hospital to provide this much wanted and needed session. Thank you to Gaynor Keys and Dr Sara Moran for giving their time so generously. We hope to do many more events together!”
