The contraceptive pill and mental health, Isla Rowntree, Women-only offices

There are twenty combinations of the contraceptive pill and sixty brands - how can you decide which is the right one for you? What can you do if you feel that going on the pill has had an impact on your mental well being? Following her own personal experience of an adverse reaction to hormonal contraception, the Deputy Editor of The Debrief Vicky Spratt will be sharing the findings of her investigation. We discuss her findings with Dr Michael Craig the Clinical Lead at the National Female Hormone Clinic at the Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and Professor Anne MacGregor, Associate Specialist at Barts Sexual Health Centre in London, and ask what further research might be needed.

As part of a new series, 'My Name is My Brand' we'll be hearing from a number of women who have successfully set up their own business. First Isla Rowntree who runs Islabikes.

Offices focusing on women-led businesses are on the rise but are they a good idea? Do women gain from this unique office environment or, by separating themselves from the mixed-gender working world, will they be at a disadvantage? Jenni speaks to Helen Milne, the Chief of Finance and Operations at the Women's Organisation in Liverpool, and Founder of Orchid Blush, Ruth Marcella, about the pros and cons of female focused office life.
