“…Expectation theory states that individuals unconsciously reproduce structural inequalities through interpersonal interactions, which may manifest itself in a bias against women. 46 These dynamics have significant implications on a menopausal individual's workplace experience. Unhelpful gender dynamics are particularly highlighted with the presence of a male line manager.…”

ObjectivesA recent British Medical Association survey revealed that very few National Health Service (NHS) doctors felt comfortable discussing symptoms with their managers, and many feel unable to make changes to their working lives to accommodate their menopause. An improved menopausal experience (IME) in the workplace has been associated with increased job satisfaction, increased economic participation and reduced absenteeism. Currently, existing literature fails to explore menopausal doctors’ experiences and none factors in non-menopausal colleagues’ perspectives. This qualitative study aims to determine the factors underpinning an IME for UK doctors.DesignQualitative study using semistructured interviews and thematic analysis.ParticipantsMenopausal doctors (n=21) and non-menopausal (n=20) doctors including men.SettingGeneral practices and hospitals in the UK.ResultsFour overarching themes underpinning an IME were identified: menopausal knowledge and awareness, openness to discussion, organisational culture, and supported personal autonomy. The levels of knowledge held by menopausal participants themselves, their colleagues and their superiors were identified as crucial in determining menopausal experiences. Likewise, the ability to openly discuss menopause was also identified as an important factor. The NHS culture, gender dynamics and an adopted superhero mentality—where doctors feel compelled to prioritise work over personal well-being—further impacted under the umbrella of Organisational culture. Personal autonomy at work was considered important in improving menopausal experiences at work for doctors. The superhero mentality, lack of organisational support and a lack of open discussion were identified as novel themes not found in current literature, particularly in the healthcare context.ConclusionsThis study highlights that doctors’ factors underpinning an IME in the workplace are comparable to other sectors. The potential benefits of an IME for doctors in the NHS are considerable. NHS leaders can address these challenges by using pre-existing training materials and resources for their employees if menopausal doctors are to feel supported and retained.

“…Particularly, elements such as professional growth, monetary benefits, the role of management, and job satisfaction were identified as areas of interest affecting retention of women in the aviation workplace when the Aviation Occupation Survey was developed (Angle & Perry, 1981;Applebaum et al, 2003;Cabrera, 2009;Elizur & Koslowsky, 2001;Taneja, Pryor, & Oyler, 2012). Yet cultural ideals and gender inequality have affected women's overall progression in the workplace throughout the years (Dashper, 2019;Ming-Li & Boateng, 2020;Rubin, Paolini, Subasic, & Giacomini, 2019;Turesky & Warner, 2020;Webster, Adams, Maranto, & Beehr, 2018). Stamarski and Hing (2015) noted "if women are underrepresented in a particular educational program or a particular job type, and those credentials or previous job experience are required for selection, women are being systematically, albeit perhaps not intentionally, discriminated against" (p. 3).…”

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) less than 55 pounds have demonstrated tremendous usefulness in emergency and disaster response, mapping, inspection, and other analytic functions (Nex & Remondino, 2014; Remondino, Barazzetti, Nex, Scaioni, & Sarazzi, 2011). UAS are useful because they can fly over contaminated or inaccessible areas to mitigate some risks to first responders of having to do these tasks themselves (Nex & Remondino, 2014), and they fast data acquisition and mapping during emergency response actions (Remondino et al., 2011). UAS are currently used in emergency response for search and rescue, thermal imaging locating hotspots in fires, and evaluating structural stability (Calams, 2018). For example, the Millstone Valley, New Jersey Fire Department reportedly uses four different DJI models in various techniques for search and rescue (Petrillo, 2018). Since these devices can provide a live video feed, they can also "provide a real-time overview on the spread of wildland fires and the potential harm to firefighters, the public and the surrounding communities" (Werner, 2015, para. 4). The New York Fire Department (FDNY) has been using HoverFly tethered sUAS equipped with video and infrared cameras at incident scenes since March 2017 to provide real-time situational and operational awareness, particularly in seeing where a fire may be traveling, but they can be also be used for fire surveillance, identifying hot spots, search and rescue, hazardous materials reconnaissance, and accident reconstruction (Petrillo, 2018). The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) uses DJI Matrice 200 Series, Matrice 600 Series, and Phantom 4 Pro sUASs equipped with electro-optic and thermal imaging cameras to identify hot-spots, perform aerial mapping, search and rescue, and for water rescues (Lillian, 2019).
