We were absolutely thrilled to attend the launch of Women’s Health Research Wales (WHRW) on 17 December. To mark the first anniversary of the landmark Women’s Health Plan for Wales, First Minister Eluned Morgan and Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing Sarah Murphy met staff, researchers and the communities collaborating with them at Cardiff University’s SPARC.
We were thrilled to be invited to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) Wales Annual Conference with around 100 obstetricians and gynaecologists across Wales on 7th November, to present alongside Cardiff University’s Dr Robyn Jackowich and Rachel Joseph on projects and activities relevant to delivery of gynaecology services in Wales.
Following the very exciting initial findings from the Decode ME study, which found that people with a Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) diagnosis have significant genetic differences in their DNA compared to the general population, we were delighted to hear BBC Radio Wales cover the study – and people’s lived experiences – in detail during an episode of The Phone in with Oliver Hides.
We are conducting a project to develop a measure of the costs related to having menopausal symptoms for use in the ESTEEM trial which is looking at the use of testosterone when added to hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
We were thrilled to be invited to take to the main stage at this year’s Everywoman Festival, with Engagement Officer, Dee, a panellist alongside NHS Wales Women’s Health Clinical Lead, Dr Helen Munro, and Director of the new Wales Women’s Health Research Centre, Professor Jacky Boivin, and Chaired by the Chief Nursing Officer, Sue Tranka.
Thanks to funding from the Rosa ‘Voices from the Frontline’ Fund, we were excited to host two ‘arts & wellbeing’ workshops during the last month with FTWW members in south and north Wales.
FTWW and our friends at Cardiff University will be hosting two workshops on Drawing Out Long-Term Health Issues.
Open to women and people registered female at birth living or receiving healthcare in Wales, these workshops use step-by-step drawing exercises to help people express and share their thoughts and feelings about their health issues. You can read more about the process here.
