Topics include mapping of services, service gaps across age, disability and other sectors, and the impact of the menopause on caring. Guests – Lynn Ronan, Sinead Aylward, Tasha QuinnVisit our website: www.carealliance.ieJoin the Online Family Carer Support GroupReports and topics mentioned in the showIntersectionality in informal care research: a scoping review State of Caring 2024 (Family Carers Ireland)Queer CaringDomiciliary Care Allowance Disability Allowance Irish Menopause Group (Facebook) Oestrogens for urinary incontinence in women (2012)Oestrogen therapy for urinary incontinence in post‐menopausal women (2012)Local oestrogen: Underutilised and misunderstood (2020) Menopause & caring: ‘Menopause symptoms worsen with caregiver burden’ (2023)Note: The information, opinions, and recommendations presented in this Podcast are for general information only and any reliance on the information provided in this Podcast is done at your own risk.
