Womens Health Update 2021 Part 1

Aims

51% of the population are women. Women’s health related concerns are a common presentation in primary care requiring an individualised life course approach. Using typical cases seen in primary care we will discuss ‘tips and tricks’ to pragmatically put evidence into our daily practice, aiming to streamline the pathways of care offered to women.

Learning outcomes

Following this session delegates will be able to:

Describe a clear understanding of the individual assessment required for managing women with requests for specific women’s health issues including cases selected from:

• ‘I don't want to be pregnant’
• ‘I do want to be pregnant’
• ‘I had my smear and now I’ve got an ‘STI’’
• ‘I keep missing work because of my periods’.

Clinical outcomes

It is anticipated that following this session delegates will achieve:

• An improved understanding of managing women’s health concerns using an individualised life course approach.
• Appreciate the latest evidence for the management of a number of women’s health concerns commonly presenting to us in primary care.
• Explore options to improve the pathway of care for women in your local network.
