Health information

Women experience unique health and wellbeing needs throughout their lives—such as periods, pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal changes—that can affect both their physical and mental health.

Taking care of women’s health properly helps individuals feel better, live longer, and stay active in their families, workplaces, and communities.

Issues like periods, contraception, pregnancy, fertility, and menopause aren’t just "women’s issues"—they’re key aspects of overall health. Without the right support, these can impact energy levels, confidence, and quality of life. Access to good care brings more choice, less stress, and healthier lives.

You can find local women’s health resources on the Well Aware website. Pages include links to reliable information, and signpost services and support available in Bristol and South Gloucestershire. National services are also included where possible. This website also offers links to translated material in several community languages and British Sign Language.

 While we use the term "women," we recognise that trans men, non-binary, intersex, and gender-expansive people may also find this information relevant and helpful.
