First women's health national NHS director announced

In her new role, Sue will help implement the ‘Women’s Health Strategy’ alongside supporting the roll out of women’s health hubs across England.

She will also work on developing a network of women’s health champions, made up of senior leaders in every local care system, to drive forward work to improve women’s health.

Sue said, “Having spent my career researching, treating, and developing policy and initiatives focused on women’s health, I have seen firsthand the challenges many women face, as well as the progress that has been made through better understanding and awareness of conditions affecting women.

“While our understanding and treatment of women’s healthcare has come a long way, we know there is still a lot more we need to do, and I am excited to be able to play a role in that as the first national clinical director for women’s health, working with colleagues in the NHS to help shape important policy and improve the experiences of women’s health in England.”
