About Nina Kuypers
Nina also helps shape national and global health standards as a Committee Member for the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) and through her work with the British Standards Institute (BSI), developing inclusive menstruation-to-menopause guidelines for workplaces and healthcare systems.
Her policy contributions include helping to update the 2024 NICE Menopause Guidelines and serving on the UK Department for Work and Pensions Menopause Advisory Group—the first independent body advising government and employers on menopause, employment, and retention.
Nina has been invited to Parliament and 10 Downing Street multiple times, contributing to initiatives such as the All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) on Menopause, Women’s Health, and Women and Work, as well as the “Shattering the Silence about Menopause” Roundtable at No.10. These roles reflect her commitment to tackling the lack of understanding around menopause in public health, policy, and workplace environments.
A highly sought-after speaker, Nina has delivered keynotes for organisations including J.P. Morgan Chase, Willmott and Dixon, UNICEF, HSBC, WHICH, Tesco, and Johnson Matthey, alongside appearances at NHS and parliamentary events. She has also spoken at the Kendal Mountain Festival, advocating for the role of physical activity in midlife wellbeing. Nina was featured in a Women in Sport film highlighting the importance of movement and exercise for menopausal health, reinforcing her belief that physical activity is a core part of menopause care.
Nina works closely with academic partners to amplify underrepresented voices in menopause research. She has collaborated with institutions such as the University of Warwick (Menopause GAP Project), the University of Nottingham (ChangeXtra Project), and the University of Oxford (HRT and Me PPI Initiative), ensuring patient perspectives shape research and policy.
Her research contributions include co-authoring:
- Accessing Equitable Menopause Care in the Contemporary NHS – Women’s Experiences (British Journal of General Practice)
- Top Ten Menopause Research Priorities (The Lancet)
She was also a member of the Menopause Priority Setting Partnership (MAPS) with the James Lind Alliance, focusing on the future of menopause research.
Nina is now pursuing a PhD at the University of Exeter, exploring the biopsychosocial influences on menopausal mental health, further strengthening her role at the intersection of research, policy, and lived experience.

"Nina brought a wealth of knowledge and an engaging speaking style. Her presentation was not only informative but importantly, she opened up the conversation about a topic that is often brushed under the rug, creating a safe and welcoming environment for discussion. She debunked myths, clarified how intersectionality plays such a huge part in people's menopause experiences, and provided practical solutions for employers, colleagues and family/friends.

"I was fascinated by Nina's talk which really helped me to understand some of the additional challenges faced by black women who are experiencing the menopause. Her description of the significance of the scarcity of black role models in the UK, particularly resonated with me. Her address was clear, insightful, well-illustrated and relatable."
