Dr Brian Kennedy, whose practice is in Tyone, Nenagh, founder of HRT Prescribers, will speak at the inaugural National Menopause Summit in the Round Room at the Mansion House in Dublin City on Thursday, March 23.

The conference will feature, among others, broadcaster Davina McCall, one of the UK's most loved TV broadcasters, with hit series that include Long Lost Family, The Masked Singer, The Masked Dancer and the ground breaking documentaries Sex, Myths and the Menopause and Sex, Mind and the Menopause.

The summit will be moderated by journalist and broadcaster Gráinne Seoige.
