Women's Health Week is held in the first week of September. It's a national campaign to help women take charge of their health, run by Jean Hailes.
Women's Health Week is a great opportunity to explore Jean Hailes' resources that support healthy ageing. This includes tools like the Healthy Ageing Hub for women over 50.
