Opportunities to explore and analyse variations in the health care needs and issues of women from menarche to ageing, taking into account their different contexts are provided; at the same time, the opportunity to explore specific issues that may be of particular interest to you and important to your practice, are also included. Among these issues will be Aboriginal women's health and domestic violence.
