Thank you to everybody who joined us on our Menopause and Bone Health Zoom call, with Catherine O’Keeffe. We had an attendance of just under 200 people, which was wonderful. The event covered all aspects of bone health and the menopause and many myths were corrected regarding Osteoporosis and the menopause.

We would like to apologise to the few people who had difficulty logging on initially. There was a little glitch with the hosting server where they reported that capacity was reached but in fact it was not. The issue was resolved swiftly.
