What do women want from health services?
As the government prepares to refresh the Women Health’s Strategy, we share new findings on women’s top priorities.
Healthwatch England have produced a blog about women's health including new research consisting of a YouGov poll and a review of 32 local Healthwatch reports.
Key findings.
- Fifteen percent of women say they never feel listened to, or feel listened to less than half the time, during healthcare appointments.
- Women who did not feel listened to were significantly more likely to report dissatisfaction with their most recent appointment.
- The single most important priority women identify for future women’s health services is having health professionals who listen.
