e Learning

Picture
The Menopause awareness elearning session will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.   It will give learners an overview of what the menopause is, the common symptoms associated with it, and scenarios which will help our people better understand the ways in which they can help support themselves and each other.

This elearning is designed for all colleagues in the workforce. Whether you are a person transitioning through the menopause, or if you are looking for information to help you support a colleague, employee, friend or relative who is experiencing symptoms of the menopause.

Health and Wellbeing at TRFT

In Rotherham Hospital Library we hold a collection of self-help health books on common physical and mental health conditions, all of which can be borrowed free of charge by staff, patients and carers.​
