The Summer School is part of our Foundations Pathway. It isn't separate from the WHCC programme - it's the first piece of formal teaching you receive as part of it, delivered in June ahead of the cohort beginning in October. Everything you encounter across the four evenings - the neuro-endocrine foundation, the physiology of pathology, oestrogen across the lifespan, motivational interviewing - runs through the rest of the curriculum. Summer School is where you meet the thinking habits that will shape the next twelve months of your training.

Nothing beyond turning up with a notebook and an open mind! There is no pre-reading, no preparation work, and no homework expected before evening one. The Summer School is designed to begin where you are, not to assume prior WHN training. If you find yourself wanting to read around the topics afterwards, our port of call would be Pub Med for peer reviewed journals.

You are every bit as welcome, with no strings attached. Summer School isn't only a starting point for those beginning the WHCC programme - it's an open door for any practitioner who wants to spend four evenings with WHN deepening their thinking and reconnecting with the foundations of women's health practice. There's no expectation to enrol in anything further and no commitment beyond the four evenings themselves. Come for the learning, the community and the fresh perspective - and if it sparks something more, that conversation is there for you. But it's entirely yours to take or leave.  We would love to see you in the room.

Replays remain available for one week after Summer School closes so you can revisit the four evenings in your own time. The October 2026 cohort then begins formally as scheduled, with the Summer School material already part of the foundation you bring into it.
