The Women’s Health Strategy for England aims to make women healthier by supporting with a range of women’s health matters like menopause, endometriosis and contraception. Our goal is to help women as early as possible, provide personalised care, and make sure women have access to information and support at all stages of their lives. The main aim is to support women’s health and create a healthcare system that includes and supports everyone.

We understand that it is important to listen to women’s voices when planning healthcare services, so we want to make sure that the different thoughts and experiences of women are considered. By talking to women with different experiences, the goal is to understand and meet the unique healthcare needs of different communities.

While we refer to women throughout, we recognise that Women’s Health may also apply to people who are transgender, non-binary, with variations in sex characteristics (VSC) or who are intersex.

Our Ask from You

In Somerset, we value your insights on women’s health. Your experiences matter, and this survey aims to understand and address the unique health needs of women in our community. Please share your views and feedback and experiences as openly and honestly as you feel comfortable in doing so by following this link: https://response.questback.com/nhssomerseticb/cxfncmhs6e

The feedback we receive will be used to inform developments to the Somerset Health and Care System’s approach to women’s health.

This survey will be anonymous so please do not include personal details or names when completing the survey and please note that as this survey will be anonymous, the survey cannot be used to access advice, guidance or treatment that would be provided by a healthcare professional.

It would be really appreciated if you could share this online survey link with your colleagues, networks, organisations, friends, families and neighbours – we need to hear from as many women in Somerset as possible.

Any questions or queries, please get in touch

Thank you for participating.

Kind Regards
