Women’s health strategy 2023-2025

As part of our ongoing work to improve equality and diversity, we have recently launched our women’s health strategy 2023-2025. This strategy sets out our organisation’s commitment to improving the health of women everywhere.

As previous research has well documented, women are often not receiving the same level of care, investigation or treatment for common and important diseases when compared to men. This is something that must change. Our mission in the space of women’s health is to reduce health inequalities for women, by ensuring that all women have access to the best quality health and care.

To help us to deliver on this strategy, we have outlined five priority areas for our organisation including:

1. Gender equity in health policy and commissioning
2. Women’s health innovation
3. Health inequalities and women
4. Gender inequality at work
5. Business development
