Women’s healthcare event pushes for change and innovation

3 mins read Workplace issues/your health
Cumbria is a driving force for better women's health, says the NHS as it gears up for a major healthcare innovation event.

The latest lifesaving technologies and initiatives will be highlighted at a special event hosted by the North-East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) in Gateshead.

The event also saw the launch of The Big Conversation, an initiative designed to understand what matters most to women about their health, alongside a detailed study. The research aims to address gaps in services and improve women's health outcomes, particularly in more deprived areas.

The region's ICB kicked off its women's health programme in 2023 with a £600,000 investment in three women's health hubs in Sunderland, Gateshead and north Cumbria.

The Big Conversation will kick off with a major survey gathering views from women across Cumbria, with support from the region's Healthwatch organisations. It will focus on a range of areas like menstrual health, gynaecological conditions, menopause and cancer, as well as fertility, pregnancy loss and postnatal support.
