On 23 December 2021, the Department for Health and Social Care launched the first ever women’s health vision because for generations, women have lived with a health and care system that is mostly designed by men, for men. The webinar will consider why this ‘male by default’ is a huge problem for all women and seek solutions. How do we put it right and what needs to happen to build equity?

We are delighted to announce our keynote speakers.
