Big Conversation

Let's talk about what matters to women and girls about their health...

In our region, we want better and fairer health for all women and girls. Even with the progress we've made, women and girls still face challenges when it comes to their health. We want to change this.

Listening and acting on the views and experiences of women is a key part of making the changes we want to see happen – which is why we launched our BIG conversation to better understand what's working well and what we can improve. 

We've worked in partnership with Healthwatch networks across the region starting with a survey which ran from July to September 2024. The views we heard will directly feed into our plans for the women's health in the region

Working with Healthwatch we will also ran six focus groups alongside this survey. These groups reached out to women from seldom heard groups such as those with learning disabilities, unpaid carers, and women with maternal mental health challenges.
