Overview

Women’s Health

In terms of human biology and key bodily processes, men and women are very different organisms. Which is precisely why issues like diet, nutrition and healthcare in general call for gender-specific approaches. For those working the field of dietetics and nutrition, the importance of understanding the differences between the two sexes cannot be overstated. Women’s health in particular has become a key area of focus for both the public in general and qualified experts over recent years. Regardless of whether you choose to focus on women’s health as your primary specialism, you’ll need a strong understanding of the subject to perform in a professional capacity.

This introductory course has been designed for anyone looking to develop a deeper understanding of key women’s health issues. Learn about the functions and effects of female hormones in the body, along with the causes and symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. Explore a range of key health considerations unique to the female body.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
