Institute for Women’s Health

The Institute for Women’s Health (IWH) was established in 2004 with the objective of improving the health of women in the UK and internationally by creating a leading centre of excellence for research, clinical care, education and training.

The Institute combines the superior clinical expertise and skills of staff at UCH with the elite research staff at UCL, bringing together experts from across the spectrum of women’s health – from laboratory science to clinical skills to social and behavioural sciences – to produce high-impact research, innovative education programmes, and pioneering clinical initiatives.
