At the IfWH  we are committed both to advancing women's health in the reproductive sense and to advancing the overall health of women in the broader sense which recognises that women's experiences of many major diseases such as - cardiovascular diseases and cancer, differ from those of men.   

Reflecting this our work increasingly addresses this wider interest. 

• Research considering the health of women in pregnancy conditions that lead on to adult onset disease such as heart attack, stroke
• Studies of preconception health that may predispose to long term disease
• Work on gestational diabetes as a precursor to Type 2 diabetes in later life
• Work studying the impact of FGR on maternal cardiac function and later onset cardiac disease
