What are Women's Health Hubs?

Our Women’s Health Hubs are designed to integrate services, offering women a centralised point of care. By bringing together doctors, nurses, and healthcare specialists, the hubs ensure accessible and coordinated support for health needs at all stages of life.

Every woman is unique and so is the care they need. The Hubs aim to provide easy access to care that is tailored to your individual needs, whether you need support with menopause treatment, problems with your periods, sexual health and cervical screenings, contraception, pelvic pain, family planning and more.

By providing this service closer to home in your local community, it will provide you with a better experience and better care, while helping to reduce waiting times for hospital treatment.
