Business Breakfast: Harrogate private hospital joins forces with Mumsnet
Today, a Harrogate private hospital joins forces with the website Mumsnet and we have details of an event to help businesses become more menopause-friendly.
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
The Duchy Hospital in Harrogate has joined forces with parenting website Mumsnet to help women get answers to a range of gynaecology-related problems.
The partnership gives Mumsnet users the chance to ask women’s health-related questions directly to one of the UK’s leading gynaecologists.
Dr Sujata Gupta is a consultant gynaecologist at Circle Health Group, the healthcare provider that runs the hospital.
Historically the diagnosis and treatment of gynaecological conditions have been challenging, with women often left waiting years for a diagnosis, or in some cases never receiving a clear answer.
Dr Gupta hopes the campaign will empower women to better understand their health.
She said:
“Thousands of women in Yorkshire struggle with the effects of a gynaecological condition and yet often go undiagnosed for years.
"The greatest challenge is often finding the right information, or the feeling of embarrassment that comes suffering with this type of condition.
"This has a dramatic impact on how women engage with healthcare professionals and ultimately prevents them from asking the appropriate questions and getting the diagnosis they need.”
