Fair For All - Gender is helping to support the NHS in Scotland to mainstream gender equality considerations into planning and delivery and ensure the health service meets its obligations uner the new public sector Gender Equality Duty, which comes into place on 6th April.
The EOC Gender Health Guidance was launched on Friday 16th February 2007 to support the NHS in Scotland to implement the Gender Equality Duty. Listed below are some resources available from Fair For All - Gender.
