Menopause Workplace Health Governance for Occupational Health and Safety Professionals
Applying menopause evidence within workplace risk, employment law, and OHS governance
Live online training | 3 hours | Limited cohort
Who this course is for
This course is designed for Occupational Health and Safety professionals working within regulated scopes of practice, such as:
Occupational Health Physicians
Occupational Health Nurses and nurse practitioners
Occupational therapists, physiotherapists and psychological therapists working in OH contexts
Independent OH practitioners
OH consultants and service leads
Participants are expected to hold registration with a recognised professional body (e.g. GMC, NMC, HCPC, or equivalent) and to provide advice that informs workplace decision-making, risk management, or employment processes.
This course is not intended for:
HR professionals
General managers
Wellbeing practitioners without regulated professional accountability
WHY THIS COURSE EXISTS
Menopause action plans are now a formal employment requirement, not a discretionary wellbeing initiative.
A wide range of Occupational Health professionals — including clinicians, therapists, and allied practitioners — are increasingly being asked to advise on the menopause-related impact in the workplace. Where advice informs risk assessments, adjustments, or employment decisions, clear process competence and professional boundaries are essential.
This course supports regulated OH professionals in applying menopause evidence safely, proportionately, and within their scope of practice.
WHAT THIS COURSE IS (AND IS NOT)
This course provides:
A shared process framework that can be applied consistently across different OH professional roles while respecting differences in clinical scope
Evidence-based translation of menopause knowledge into functional work impact
Structured approaches to hazard identification and risk assessment
Clear guidance on OH’s advisory role in menopause action plans
Alignment with HSE Management Standards and UK employment law
Practical tools and templates for OH practice
This course does NOT provide:
Role-specific clinical interventions beyond an individual practitioner’s professional registration or scope of practice
Menopause diagnosis or treatment training
Prescribing or symptom management guidance
Clinical menopause care pathways
Clinical care remains with primary and secondary healthcare services.

Apply menopause evidence to functional capacity at work
Use foreseeable functional impact domains to guide assessment
