Women’s Health Project Report
Healthwatch Bury have engaged with local women to find out more about their experiences of health and care services during their adolescent, reproductive and post reproductive years in order to understand and improve local services.
The department of health and social care developed a Women’s Health Strategy in August 2022 highlighting several specific issues which impact women in the UK.
Women generally live longer than men but spend a significantly greater proportion of their lives in ill health +/or disability when compared with men. Little focus is placed on women-specific issues like miscarriage and menopause and women are under-represented in clinical trials. Men were often used as the default choice in research and clinic trials, this has led to gaps in insight and data.
