Tackling the taboos of female health and performance

Female health and performance; an ‘in-discussion’ session covering female-specific topics which impact the health, wellbeing and performance of active and adventurous women, which have often been over-looked and under-researched.

Laura Penhaul will be asking Dr Emma Ross about what these female-specific factors are, and how her work with Olympic and Paralympic female athletes can be translated into expedition medicine and support.

Laura will use reflections from her own experiences to bring context to the discussion and we hope you will leave the session with new insight that will optimise how you support, treat and train women.
