We're delighted to say that the Women's Health After Motherhood (WHAM) course has been recognised by the 2020 Health Service Excellence Awards as an exemplary project contributing to health and social care services. We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the women in the MAMMI study.

We have changed the access to the course from time-limited access to 'Always on' which means WHAM is open, and free, to all learners at all times.
