This Team Tuesday focuses on women’s health and whether women in the UK can expect to live longer, healthier lives than previous generations or if modern living is taking a toll all of its own. What do you think? You might like to think about this as a team, considering the health and wellbeing of older female friends and family and for the female members of the team, your own health.

Do you think women today have better health than women in the past or vice versa? Or perhaps it might be a mixture of both, depending on the health issue in question. Health issues such as obesity and weight, heart disease, stroke and dementia frequently make headlines and your customers may be concerned. Some women, on the other hand, may think that conditions like heart disease and stroke mainly affect men.

You will need to correct these misconceptions and be ready to give women information that can help them to improve their lifestyles and hence their health. There are so many simple steps women can take around diet, physical activity, stopping smoking and so on. Although they may be aware of the things they should be doing, a little encouragement from you will be very helpful.

Those who are leading the Team Tuesday training will find accompanying learning prompts and teaching notes here.
