Providing Primary Care Which Meets the Needs of Women
Abstract
Outlines the key issues which determine primary care services as appropriate to meet the needs of women users. These issues include taking a particular interest in women and their health; recognizing the importance of talking through health issues; not making their decisions for them; working with women to improve their health and recognizing the role of women as carers. Ends by noting the importance of primary care providing a diverse range of professional services, not just those identified as medical, and stresses again the importance of finding out what women want as the key prerequisite in the provision of an appropriate and relevant service.
