Healthwatch Blackpool have recently been working alongside Public Health Blackpool to better understand experiences of menopause and perimenopause.
Specific attention was given to:
- Individuals who are or have been experiencing perimenopause/menopause.
- Professionals, including medical professionals and large employers in Blackpool who support individuals who are perimenopausal/menopausal.
- Family members, loved ones and friends of individuals who are perimenopausal/menopausal.
Between February and June 2024, Healthwatch Blackpool gathered feedback from 558 individuals via a survey and 136 people through focus groups/interviews. We have collated all of the local insights into a comprehensive report that includes many recommendations.

We will continue to work with system partners to ensure the community voice leads decision making in our area.
