Health Advisory Service
WHC is offering a ground-breaking initiative to employees of small and medium-sized firms that have a majority of women on their staff.
Women’s Health Concern is greatly indebted to the late Miss Elizabeth Stalley whose generous bequest made possible the complete re-design and revision of this charity website in December 2007.Since then several benefactors, some preferring to be anonymous, have made donations. These are enabling us to continue to enhance the website and to provide funding towards our key outreach objectives.The trustees of the British Menopause Society and Women’s Health Concern thank you all, especially those who have supported us having suffered loss of close family.
Our charity receives no statutory funding, so we continue to depend on the generosity of all those who value our services.
Summer appeal
We believe passionately in women having access to accurate medical information. Everything we do is in support of your GPs, practice and specialist nurses and hospital consultants.
Please help our nurses to help women like you with health, wellbeing and lifestyle guidance
