"Wins" in Women's Health

 "Wins" in Women's Health this week! 🙌

Happy New Year blog! 
Wow, it has been a while since I have blogged, but thought I would post some short content on her, particularly around women's health. 


As "Blue Monday" is now officially behind us, let's talk about some positive news! 🗞

In the last few weeks there have been 2 great things announced for women's health:

👉 1. Mirena coil users - the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health announced the Mirena coil now has a licence for 8 years for contraception. This includes those that have already been fitted!

👉 2. The UK Gov has FINALLY scrapped the tax on period underwear, so hopefully they will be more affordable! (We are hoping to see a £2 reduction in the cost! )

Of course, these wins are preceded by so much hard work - research, campaigning and advocating. This wins remind us that we must continue to speak up for women's health to continue to have weekly wins like this! 💕
