There are more details of it on this gov page:
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/first-womens-health-strategy-for-england-to-tackle-gender-health-gapSome specifics:
- the £10 million figure is for breast cancer screening
- Feedback from thousands of women across the country revealed that they feel their voices were not always listened to, and there was a lack of understanding or awareness among some medical professionals about health conditions which affect women.
To address this, the strategy commits to:
-commissioning urgent research by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) into healthcare professionals’ experiences of listening to women in primary care, with a focus on menstrual and gynaecological symptoms to inform policy to ensure women’s voices are heard
-introducing specific teaching and assessments on women’s health in undergraduate curricula for all graduating medical students from 2024 to 2025 and for all incoming doctors
-major investment via the NIHR into research on women’s health issues, including a new policy research unit on reproductive health, and plans to:
address data gaps
-identify barriers to women participating in research
-improve the quality of data collected by the NHS – this will include running a new reproductive health experience survey every 2 years to continue to listen to women and gather insight on their experiences of services, including for contraception and menopause
There’s quite a lot there so do have a good read of it! The research part is what I’m really pleased about too, especially for endometriosis.
