Many women will experience symptoms through their later working life. The ambulance service constitutes an employment setting that, dependent on the roles of female staff, can impact on the severity of menopause symptoms and experiences (Prothero et al., 2021). This study aimed to explore female ambulance staff experiences of the menopause transition and suggest ways to improve support offerings.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A qualitative interpretive approach was adopted, involving 12 UK ambulance services.

Fourteen participants had front-line (patient-facing) or emergency operation centre-based roles, while seven were employed in service support roles. Ten themes were identified: impact on work role; awareness and preparedness for menopause transition; personal impact of symptoms; desired support; appropriate sickness and menopause policy; managerial development; compassion and dignity; impact of working environment; impact on safety; and lack of choice. Lack of understanding and support from colleagues and line managers were identified as the key issues.

The experience of working while going through the menopause could be challenging. Employers should adopt a menopause policy which includes training and awareness for all staff, and suitable for front-line as well as service support staff. There is a need to create a culture where the menopause is not taboo, and women feel able to talk about their symptoms.</p>","PeriodicalId":72470,"journal":{"name":"British paramedic journal","volume":"8 3","pages":"20-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10690488/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138479702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
