World Menopause Month has been marked by staff at NHS Ayrshire and Arran who hosted a special awareness event at Crosshouse Hospital.
Participants were treated to talks from key speakers who voiced the importance of breaking the taboos that exist around menopause.
On the day, women shared the experience of menopause and penned a taboo about menopause on a foam brick that was built into a wall and then ‘broken down’ with an inflatable hammer.
