Answer
The life course approach identifies the critical stages, transitions and settings where there are opportunities to promote good health, prevent negative health outcomes and restore health and wellbeing. This has been adopted by the World Health Organization and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Our ambition is for women’s health policy and services to be developed for the needs of individual women, rather than based one specific issue or condition. We are considering the approach to implementation of the Women’s Health Strategy.
