Women's Health
Women's health, including access to contraception and menopause services, is a key focus for us.
Across the Wakefield District, we want to make sure that all our GPs and clinicians are kept up to date with the latest developments in women's health in primary care.
This page provides resources and links to the latest guidance and training. It is mainly for health and care professionals but we also know that many women take an active role in looking after themselves and so this information is available for anyone to read.
