In Practice - Advising on women’s health - P12B

There are health conditions that either only affect women, e.g. vaginal infections, or that women are more prone to, e.g. osteoporosis. Women’s health concerns also change as they go through different life stages. This is important to keep in mind when advising customers on women’s health as it may affect the advice you give.

This module will help you to:

• Understand health conditions that women may be concerned about
• Be able to advise women affected by heavy or painful periods
• Advise customers how to minimise risk factors for osteoporosis
• Understand the potential signs of breast and cervical cancer.
