Improving Women's Health Survey
November 29, 2024
We are asking women across Derby and Derbyshire to give their views and help contribute towards improved health services.
NHS Derby and Derbyshire have received funding to change how services are provided. Health leaders want to hear women's views about what would make things better.
A survey has been launched for any woman across the city and county, asking questions about:
- experiences of accessing services for women's health issues
- understanding and knowledge about women's health
- information about women’s health, including screening
- communication preferences
Additionally, specific minority groups and seldom-heard groups are being asked to contribute their views through a series of local and subject area workshops.
Community Action Derby and Links Community Voluntary Services in Derbyshire are supporting local organisations to run workshops between November and January for priority community groups who are at greater risk of poorer health.
Dr Kath Bagshaw, a GP partner at Littlewick Medical Centre and NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board deputy chief medical officer and clinical lead for the project said: "We aim to create an open, inclusive, and valuable health service that truly meets the needs of women in Derby and Derbyshire."
The results from the project will be used to make recommendations about how women's health services should change.

Community Action Derby is a registered charity providing support and guidance for voluntary and community groups.
