Listening to the voices of women in Northern Ireland

Women's Health

Women across Northern Ireland are being encouraged to take part in a survey focusing on their health needs and the challenges around women’s healthcare.

The Women’s Health Survey for Northern Ireland, part funded by the Department of Health, is the first phase of a public listening exercise with Northern Ireland women and is being carried out by the School of Nursing & Midwifery at Queen’s University, Belfast, in partnership with Derry Well Women. The survey was launched on 11 November by the Minister and its purpose is to hear directly from women about their specific health needs and experiences to help shape planning for women’s health services..
