Join a free educational evening focused on the management of women’s health issues in primary care
Join us this June for a free educational evening focused on the management of women’s* health issues in primary care. Guest speakers include endocrinologist Dr Melissa Katz, and CEO of QENDO Jess Taylor.
While women in Australia comparatively experience better health outcomes globally, improving women’s health and wellbeing in our communities remains a priority. Data collection and analysis conducted by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, indicate that chronic conditions, mental health issues, and reproductive health concerns are areas that still require ongoing attention from our healthcare system and policy makers alike.
*We acknowledge that sex and gender are distinct concepts and that sex-specific health issues covered in this event affect women and gender diverse peoples.
