Abstract

Promoting women’s health is an essential component of healthcare, with all women entitled to care that supports health promotion, illness prevention and health management. To promote the health and wellbeing of women and assist with health equity through healthcare access and provision, nurses are uniquely positioned to help reduce the health inequities women experience through nurse-led models of care. Within this context, the aim of this paper is to provide insight into the purpose behind nurse-led clinics and their importance in women's health, highlighting the benefits such as improved accessibility, holistic care, and patient satisfaction, while providing practical guidance for clinicians on setting up nurse-led clinics for women health and wellbeing.
