Women’s Health

As a part of a national ten-year drive to improve the health and wellbeing of all women, people and organisations. Suffolk and north east Essex (SNEE) have been working to shape better local health services. Healthwatch are supporting this women’s health programme to make sure people’s experiences and views are included to shape future care and support.

You can read more about how you can share your views, opinions and lived experience of using local services now by visiting https://healthwatchsuffolk.co.uk/womenshealth/

You can also take part in the women’s health engagement (March 2024). The SNEE Women’s Health Insight and Oversight group is coordinating engagement to shape services and support for women across SNEE. Together with our co-production team, the group has developed a local survey for people to anonymously share their views and experiences.

Please note: This project includes those who identify as women but may not have been born female and those who were born female but may no longer identify as a woman.
