Every Woman’s Health Matters: Have Your Say on Local Women’s Health and Care Services

The new survey, Every Woman’s Health Matters, is designed to gather real stories and insights that will help shape how local NHS and care services support women and girls now and in the future.

Why Your Voice Matters

In Rutland, rural communities often face unique challenges in accessing health services.

“This survey is a vital opportunity for local women and girls to share their experiences – good or bad – so we can work together to make services more inclusive, responsive, and tailored to their needs.” . Dr Janet Underwood, Chair of Healthwatch Rutland.
