Band 7 Women's Health Lead

4 months ago


Yeovil, United Kingdom NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board Full time

The *Womens Health Strategy for England sets out the 10-year ambitions for boosting the health and wellbeing of women and girls, and for improving how the health and care system listens to women. The strategy encourages the expansion of womens health hubs across the country to improve access to services and health outcomes. This post is designed to provide project management to support the delivery of the womens health strategy, lead the development and implementation of a womens health hub in Somerset and support ongoing work around womens health. Following the Womens Health Strategy, the Government published that £25 million new funding had been allocated to create new womens health hubs.

Women across England will benefit from tailored healthcare and support and the hubs will help to ease pressures facing the NHS. The hub models will be tailored to meet local womens needs. They will focus on delivering services in the community that better fit around womens lives and streamline access to womens health services. Hubs aim to address fragmentation in provision, for example by providing management of contraception and heavy bleeding in one visit or integrating cervical screening with other aspects of womens health care.

Women often need to attend multiple appointments and go to different places to access these essential services. The term *women is used for the purpose of this document but we recognise that the terminology does not align to the gender identity for some individuals who may access services.
