Join the BIG Conversation: Let's talk about women's health

News - 30 July 2024

The NHS Integrated Care Board for the North East and North Cumbria is launching the BIG Conversation to find out what matters most to women and girls when it comes to their health.

Even though we have made much progress across the region, women and girls still have health issues that need more attention and there is still much to do to ensure our health and care services are delivering for 51% of our population.

The BIG Conversation

The Big Conversation is kicking off with a major survey gathering views from women and girls across the North East and North Cumbria, with support from the region's Healthwatch organisations. 

The BIG Conversation wants to hear from you to understand what those needs are.

Join the BIG Conversation by completing our survey and tell us:

  • What matters to you about your health?
  • What is important when you use women's health services?
  • How comfortable are you talking to doctors about women's health issues?
  • What are your top health concerns?
  • Where do you find information about women’s health?

It's quick and easy, and your answers will help us create better health plans for women and girls in our region.

You can find out more about our women's health programme here.

This survey closes on 8 September 2024.
