Some menopause supplements will do nothing but cost you money, according to @ProfJoyceHarper (@UCL_IfWH). “Women should be wary of products making broad claims that are not supported by good-quality evidence.” bit.ly/3VL5Ris

Yesterday completes 13 years in the Reproductive Medicine Unit at UCLH for me. It has been a wonderful journey with lots of learning. A big thank you to each and everyone (colleagues past and present, teachers, students, patients and their families) for all their support over the years. I hope to give more back to UCLH over the coming years. I still remember my first day in the unit trying to find my way in and Mr Harry Thondee at reception going out of his way to make me feel at home. Thank you Harry!

Why do some women experience side effects from contraception? 💊 “Given that billions of women have used hormonal contraception over the last 60+ years, it's staggering how little research has been done on this,” said Professor Jenny Hall (@UCL_IfWH). bit.ly/4hqS7lk

It was a wonderful and inspiring evening celebrating 200 years of women’s health at UCL today. A journey full of innovation, achievements, advancements and standing for evidence-based science and equality. It has been 13 years for me at UCL/UCLH and I will remain forever grateful for all that this institution has taught me and supported me with. A big thank you to Prof Anna David, Prof Melanie Davies and Dr Sophie Clarke for the opportunity to talk about Reproductive Endocrinology at UCL. From Gerald Swyer and Prof Howard Jacobs to Prof Gerard Conway, Prof Melanie Davies and Prof Joyce Harper, the reproductive medicine unit has been pioneering medical diagnoses and treatments for a wide range of reproductive health conditions spanning puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and menopause. Its work in setting up multidisciplinary clinics, involving patients in their care and advocacy and advancing medical education is unparalleled. It was a special moment for me today summarising these achievements on the 200 years celebration event. Founded in 1826, UCL is a global powerhouse of education and research. It holds a rich history as the first university in England to admit students regardless of their religion, social background, or gender. Looking forward to many more achievements for RMU in future!

Professor Joyce Harper (@UCL_IfWH) said: “If sportswomen are going into this knowing it – egg freezing – is not going to be a guarantee, in any remote form, that they will have a baby at the end, then that’s OK.” shorturl.at/iBMud
