WOMEN'S HEALTH TRAINING COURSE WHISC has delivered a Women’s Health Training Course for many years from the Information Drop In Centre. Many of our volunteers have attended the course which is accredited through the Open College Network (Level 2: OCN). The course has enabled many women, who have no previous or recent qualifications, to gain confidence and improve their employment prospects. The course runs on Mondays for 16 weeks, usually during term time and covers issues such as stress, menopause, patients rights, relaxation, and much more. We can run up to two Women’s Health Training Courses each year and women are welcome to register their interest in attending at any time.
