THE Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) is holding a free public lecture on Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). The talk is for women of all ages and will be led by Professor Shaughn O'Brien, vice-president of the RCOG. A recent survey by Wellbeing of Women revealed that some women are affected by PMS for 10 days a month and the talk will help those affected to understand how best to deal with the symptoms.
The lecture will be at 6.30pm on 16 June at the RCOG on Sussex Place, Regents Park. Call 020 7772 6245 or visit www.rcog.org.uk.
