After decades of gender health inequality, the much-anticipated Women’s Health Strategy is an opportunity to improve the lives of all women, but especially those in lower socio-economic areas.

Latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show women’s life expectancy varies by almost eight years across England, ranging from 78.7 years in the most-deprived areas to 86.4 in the least. Girls born in the most-deprived areas of England will have almost 20 fewer years of good health compared with those in the least. Women living in the most-deprived areas have a higher incidence of poor mental health and are more likely to have early onset dementia compared to those in the least-deprived areas. With a backlog of 1.5 million cervical screening tests missed annually, an average of 8 per cent fewer women from the most-deprived areas attended their cervical screening in 2021.

At this free online event, our expert panel discussed the challenges to improving women’s health in the most-deprived areas of England and explored what needs to happen on the ground to narrow the health inequalities gap and improve diagnosis, early interventions, and treatment for women. The event looked at learning from successful case studies and how this could be applied across different pathways.
