Please encourage those you know who have suffered miscarriage and other types of pregnancy loss to consider whether a personalised certificate acknowledging their baby would be helpful in their journey to recovery #womenshealthstrategy

Losing a baby can be an unbelievably painful and traumatic experience. We're introducing a voluntary certificate for parents to recognise the loss of a baby before 24 weeks of pregnancy, as part of the #WomensHealthStrategy and #PregnancyLossReview. https://t.co/RiJTQcHmdY

Women and girls have been dismissed for far too long. It’s simply unacceptable that anyone is expected to put up with periods and gynaecological conditions that disrupt their lives. Join our #JustaPeriod 🩸campaign and let's end the pain and suffering 👇🏽 https://t.co/aPbhR1qSOV
🩸 We're excited to announce our #JustaPeriod campaign has launched! Millions of women suffer with severe period pain or heavy bleeding, yet many are dismissed & don't get treatment or support. Join our campaign & let's stop periods from holding us back. https://t.co/HfXEJMbCcY

As part of our plans to implement the #WomensHealthStrategy, women will now be able to access cheaper HRT to help manage their menopause symptoms. Making HRT easier to access will significantly improve the lives of many women, enabling them to reach their full potential.
🆕From today, you can get cheaper HRT prescriptions to ease menopause symptoms by getting the new HRT Prescription Prepayment Certificate. @MariaCaulfield hears how Helen will benefit as the cost of the listed HRT items is reduced to under £20 a year. 🔗 https://t.co/sNwpAFKqnf
