PCOS Vitality were grateful to attend a recent event at Stormont to discuss the new Women's Health Action Plan. The Women’s Health Action Plan will build on ongoing initiatives across Health and Social Care and will identify the priority actions that can be taken forward. Unfortunately, NI remains the only part of the UK not to have a Women's Health Strategy let alone a Women's Health Action Plan. We were delighted to contribute to this event by highlighting the effects of living with PCOS, obesity, and mental health issues on women's health. The Women's Health Action Plan should be considered an initial step towards enhancing women's health outcomes in the north.

The Department is working in partnership with Derry Well Women and Queen’s University Belfast on a public listening exercise to understand women's perspectives on the current service provision, expectations for their future health, and identify gaps to inform a future strategy for Women's Health NI. We look forward to the summary report that will be produced soon. In the meantime, if you would like to take part in the listening research project you can find the survey at the following link

While we use the words "women/woman" we acknowledge that not all females identify as this but everyone should be included in this work. For the purposes of this article we are referring generally to biological sex at birth.
