The difference that we will measure ...
That inequalities have been reduced not just in the gender health gap but in tackling the ‘data gap’ so we understand women’s treatments and diagnosis better and the differences in access to health care in areas which are deprived or affluent are reduced.
That as a system we are aligned with the improvements being made by the government including improvement in women’s health information, support following loss of pregnancy, and more women’s health training for health and care professionals.
The difference that you will see ...
That women feel listened to and have a voice regarding their health and care, we will gain this via feedback.
That we can openly and publicly discuss women’s issues such as menopause where it is no longer a taboo subject.
