Season 2 /Episode 1 – 17 JanUary

Professor Joyce Harper: Why we need to teach everyone about reproductive health

In this podcast Professor Joyce Harper will be interviewing guests to discuss all things health related and debunking some of the many myths around our health.

Professor Joyce Harper is going to start each new podcast season with a podcast by herself where she will update you on what she has been up to in the previous year. In 2023 she started the podcast and had 25 guests, plus herself, talking about many health topics, but mainly reproductive health. The podcast has been listened to in 72 countries.

Joyce explains her main research projects. Her work as chair of the International Reproductive Health Education Collaboration (IRHEC) has resulted in 6 videos of personal stories, the teachers educational resource, an update of the fertility education poster and the preparation of 12 public information leaflets (www.eshre.eu/IRHEC).

In 2023 her research on menopause led her to set up the development of the UK menopause education and support programme with Shema, Polly, Nicky and Florrie. The project will be inclusive and co-designed with the public. Joyce also shares how difficult juggling our work/life balance can be. In 2024, she will be interviewing 50 women over 50 who feel they are (mostly) happy to discuss a range of topics which she will share in her next book.
