Information For Women
Health
When we are going through a particularly difficult time, we can often neglect our
physical and mental health. However it is important to seek medical help via your
GP surgery if you need it. If you are able to be open with your doctor or health
professional, it can help you to receive the most effective treatment and support.
Remember all NHS services are confidential.
You can access information about health or local healthcare by attending your local
GP surgery or by visiting www.nhs24.com.
Information on family planning/sexual health services can be found by visiting www.shayr.com.
Mental Health
Staying mentally healthy isn't just about treating illness - far from it! There
are lots of things we can do to help prevent ourselves getting ill in the first
place, for example:
- talking about our feelings
- keeping active
- eating well
- drinking sensibly
- keeping in touch with friends and loved ones
- getting professional help
For more information visit
www.wellscotland.info or speak to your GP.
Sexual Health
Sexual wellbeing is not just about the absence of disease or unintended pregnancy,
but encompasses the positive aspects of relationships and sexuality.
You can get information on sexual health from your GP surgery, health visitor or
a sexual health clinic. You can make an appointment at your nearest clinic by calling
the NHS Sexual Health Department on 01294 323228.
