Previous surveys by the Police Federation of England and Wales revealed the impact on female officers of experiencing the menopause while working in policing, and the scale of the problem; now new research by PC Beverley Beck of Dorset Police has highlighted how the institutional neglect of menopause contributes to the early exit of talented and experienced female officers, as well as the good practice underway in some forces to address the issues and support officers. policinginsight.com/feature/opinio… @dorsetpolice

Struggling with night sweats? You’re not alone. 💦🌙 Waking up soaked, too hot one minute and freezing the next? It’s exhausting—and it affects both you and your partner. Here are a few things that might help: 🛌 Swap your bedding & PJs – Menopause-friendly fabrics like bamboo, silk, or linen wick away sweat and help regulate temperature better than cotton. 🛏️ Try two single duvets – Less disturbance for your partner when you're tossing and turning. ❄️ Cool down – Chill pillows or a room temp of 16–18°C can make a big difference. 🌿 Supplements – Some find relief with black cohosh* (*not suitable if you’ve had breast cancer or take certain meds). 💊 Prescription options – If HRT isn’t for you, ask your doctor about alternatives like SSRIs, Clonidine or Gabapentin, which can also help reduce hot flushes. You deserve restful sleep. 😴💚 Got a tip that worked for you?
