Our opportunity in the North East and North Cumbria (NENC) is to turn our ambition for women's health into action.
The Women's Health Programme is an ambitious transformational programme of work to impact on health, access and outcomes for the 51% of our population.
It is underpinned by robust data profiling, needs assessment, mapping and listening to the voices of women and girls in the North East and North Cumbria.
On this page, you will find the needs assessment document and a database of all available documentation.
We have set up a Women's Health Collaborative across the integrated care system so we can work together to help improve the way in which the health and care system listens to women’s voices, and boost health outcomes for women and girls. If you wish to join this, please email: [email protected]
Using strength, collaboration, and energy we have, to create our own implementation plan and make the changes we want to see now and for future generations. If we can make things better for girls and women, everyone benefits.
The scope of this Programme is huge and there is an urgent need to prioritise short and long term actions in line with the data profiles, needs assessment and lived experience of the women of the North East and North Cumbria.
Menopause can have a huge effect on individuals in the workplace, with many saying that the symptoms have negatively impacted their ability to do their job.
When we talk more openly about the menopause and when the right support is in place, we can improve health and wellbeing – as well as retain talent, experience and skills.
Across the North East and North Cumbria health and care system, we are woking to share best practice, resources, and connect to the Women’s Health Strategy for England.
