One of the points in the strategy is "Ensuring women’s voices are heard".
All our voices need to be heard when it comes to getting better treatment for B12 deficiency.
Apologies if off topic for forum.
I think there are Women's health strategies for Wales, Scotland and NI.
Not at all off-topic.
A lot of women on this forum are not getting heard by medical professionals because they are not getting listened to. It is a constant problem that is having to be dealt with by women patients as individuals - instead of being an issue that all of us should be concerned about - especially those in the health service.
There are preconceptions that need examining. There are age-old attitudes that need changing.
I find it unlikely that the nurse who was so rude to LadyBothwell - see yesterday's post - would have felt free to respond in the same manner had she been a male patient.
I am reading this and feel so bloody angry and upset. Why has it taken until now (2022!) to get doctors to take women's health seriously? Trainee doctors now are to have training in women's health, WHAT!?
I have hit so many brick walls (doctors) in my life, from menstrual problems (needing an hysterectomy from endometriosis and worse since my early teens) to PA that wasn't diagnosed for over 12 months.
Are we second class citizens, seems so to me.
This smacks of Victorian, and , maybe, Medieval, treatment of women, shove them in a mental home if husbands/fathers didn't want to deal with them.
Even animals get treated better than us women.
