Gateshead Cares received funding from NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (NENC ICB) to develop a women’s health hub in Gateshead. The aim of the hub is to enable women to get more of their health needs met at one time, with less need for appointments in different places.
Plans for the service included a focus on menopause, birth control and gynaecology but ahead of its launch, service providers wanted to gauge whether they were the right priorities for people accessing women’s services in Gateshead and to understand their experiences of the NHS support currently available to them.
We received feedback from 1001 people who shared their views of what the hub should focus on and what improvements could be made to women’s services in Gateshead. Read the report here.
