NEW: Women's Health Strategy 👧👩👵 Today’s renewed Women’s Health Strategy is a major step forward in tackling health inequalities. Since becoming an MP, I have worked tirelessly on women's health, especially as Chair of the PCOS APPG and the Maternity APPG. This new strategy will put women’s voices at the heart of their care, cut waiting times for conditions like endometriosis and fibroids, and finally tackle outdated attitudes to women’s pain. ℹ️ More information on the strategy here: gov.uk/government/new…

Wes Streeting says "the NHS has a problem with basic everyday sexism and an appalling culture of medical misogyny" during a speech at the launch of the government's new Women's Health Strategy. trib.al/pGEuGR1 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

Cont. 4 of 4 But while PCOS affects over 3 million women and girls in the UK, it is referenced just 3 times in the 90-page strategy itself. Recognition is welcome. Action is what matters. #PCOS #WomensHealth

Cont. 3 of 4 Encouragingly, Wes Streeting referenced PCOS in his speech — something rarely seen before the incredible work of the @APPG_PCOS and Chair @MichelleWelshMP, together with Verity’s sustained advocacy efforts.

Cont. 2 of 4 These include commitments around reducing gynaecology waits, improving women’s health pathways, and tackling the inequality and medical misogyny women continue to face in healthcare.

Thank you to @MichelleWelshMP for speaking about Pcos so passionately

Yesterday I spoke in support of the 109,000 people - including 149 from Sherwood Forest - who signed the petition for menstrual leave in the UK 🩸🩸🩸 This is particularly important for those living with conditions like endometriosis and PCOS. They’re chronic, often debilitating, and still too often dismissed. Menstrual leave is about fairness, dignity, and recognising women’s health in the workplace. The UK should follow countries already taking action 👇

We have been campaigning for over a decade for the name Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to change. For too long, it has been misleading, confusing and yes, harmful. You can bet we will tell you as soon as we can. 💬 Thoughts?! Drop them below 👇 #pcos #pcosnamechange

Have you faced difficulty accessing fertility support because of your weight? Researchers and experts are looking to better understand the experiences of those who have been trying to conceive while living in a bigger body. Link to the survey: forms.gle/egpMmsk8rLQmME…

Last week, the PCOS APPG convened parliamentarians, clinicians and NHS leadership to discuss delivery of a national pathway for PCOS as a chronic, multisystem condition. The focus was on implementation and alignment across policy and commissioning. More to follow.

@veritypcos @APPG_PCOS Hi Verity, I’m an MRes researcher at the University of Leeds preparing an ethics application this week. I’m trying to access your recruitment request form, but the file on your website won’t open/download. Would you be able to send me the form directly? Many thanks in advance.

Thank you @MichelleWelshMP for the wonderful work on raising awareness and action for #PCOS and the @APPG_PCOS
Michelle Welsh MP@MichelleWelshMP

Today I chaired the the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) bringing together charities, clinicians and advocates to improve healthcare for women with this condition. PCOS affects 1 in 8 women, yet many face delayed diagnosis and fragmented care. At the meeting, we discussed the need for faster diagnosis and better access to specialist support in primary care. Thank you to everyone who shared their expertise and lived experience. Through the work of this APPG, we will ensure women with PCOS receive the personalised care they deserve.
