Liverpool Women’s University Hospital is proud to support the first World Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) Day, raising awareness of this important condition that affects 1 in 100 women under 40. POI can have a significant impact on physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing.

As one of the few centres in the region with a dedicated POI clinic, we provide holistic, patient-centred care that addresses not only hormone replacement but also psychological health, and general health and wellbeing. Our multidisciplinary team works together to ensure each patient receives comprehensive support tailored to their individual needs.

In addition, Liverpool Women’s is a recruiting centre for the POISE trial, contributing to vital research that aims to improve understanding and treatment options for women and girls living with POI.

Winter vaccinations are available close to home this half term! 🏠

Some GP practices are running drop-in clinics, the Living Well Bus will be offering vaccines - visiting an Odeon cinema in Warrington, community and leisure centres in Liverpool, and various supermarkets. Parents of two and three-year-olds can also book online and for the first time ever drop-in to their local pharmacy to get their toddler vaccinated. 🛡️

There are even ‘flu fairies’ at Alder Hey who are working to protect the most vulnerable children providing vaccinations and reassurance to young patients. 🧚 🪄

We are urging all eligible groups, especially children and young adults, to get their jabs, as latest data suggests flu and COVID-19 is increasing early this year- with hospitalisations starting to rise. 🦠 🤒
