No more elephants!

When it comes to health, every woman has an elephant in the room. We often don’t take the time to ask questions, seek out credible information and work out a sound plan of action. It’s time to talk. Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week 2015 (7-11 September) will be getting rid of those elephants in the room.
