More women urged to come forward to shape women s health strategy
Women from under-represented groups urged to respond to call for evidence to shape the future of women’s healthcare.
From:
50,000 women, organisations, clinicians and carers have responded so far
The call for evidence will now be extended by 2 weeks allowing even more women to respond
Women from Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, those living in the Midlands and East of England and women over 50 are being urged to respond to the government’s call for evidence to help inform the first ever women’s health strategy.
There has already been an incredible response to the call for evidence, with over 50,000 women, organisations, clinicians and carers responding so far.
The Documentary Podcast strand in BBC Sounds has recently been doing a sterling job of exploring (alongside other subjects) various aspects of global healthcare, said Charlotte Runcie in The Daily Telegraph. One outstanding recent edition on compassion fatigue was a “harrowing” examination “of the human capacity to care for others, and how emotionally expensive compassion in extreme circumstances can be”. From Audible, The Bias Diagnosis looks at racial inequalities in healthcare systems, said Hannah J. Davies in The Guardian. Ivan Beckley, a final-year medical student and clinical entrepreneur, interviews patients who received “wrong or late diagnoses because of centuries of myths and falsehoods in medicine”, or because of false assumptions by clinicians. “Far from your standard gory medical show, this is a sociological investigation – and a shocking one.”

Protein pancakes for Pancake Day? We love to see it. This year, in the UK, Shrove Tuesday falls on February 16, 2021. And we ve got a flipping great idea for celebrating (particularly if you ve got some protein powder to use up). You ll likely know them as the ultimate post-workout breakfast but protein pancakes can make an appearance on their name-day, too! So, what are you waiting for? Put that shaker away and get out the whisk: it s mixing time.
Why is protein important?
Protein, one of the three key macronutrients, helps your body build and repair muscle tissue following a workout. For the record, the NHS advises that women eat around 45g a day the equivalent of three and a half eggs, two and a half salmon fillets or five portions of lentils.
