Our chief executive, Samantha Allen, wishes everyone a happy International Women's Day.
This year's theme is "Inspire Inclusion", highlighting the role of inclusion and driving fairness, opportunities and success for all.
Dr Alex Kent, medical director at North East and North Cumbria ICB and GP partner at Priory shares her thoughts and talks about how women have challenges around both their personal and professional lives, juggling between the two to find the right balance.
Our colleagues and partners across the North East and North Cumbria share their stories on why supporting International Women's Day is important and what has inspired them in their journeys.
Following the theme for this year's International Women's Day, we want to shine a light on some of the innovative women in our region's healthcare throughout history, from setting up health advisory clinics, to founding the first general medical practice in Newcastle.
This International Women's Day, we take a look at some of our inspiring colleagues across the ICB and wider NHS.
