Women's health as a research area has expanded greatly over recent years. Involving the investigation into the unique ways in which diseases manifest in women, the impact of socio-economic factors on their health, and the effectiveness of gender-specific medical treatments and interventions. This broadened focus has led to significant advancements in understanding and addressing women's health needs across the lifespan. However, there is still a significant underrepresentation within research, with much work remaining to be done to close this gap.
We feel it is vital to come together to exchange knowledge, challenge preconceptions, and inspire innovation in the field of women’s health. This symposium hopes to bring together a diverse assembly of healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers to provide insight to our collective table. From the latest in medical research to advancements in healthcare practices and policies, our symposium is a forum for sharing groundbreaking work and forging new partnerships.
This email is to inform the individuals within the community that we will host a cross-Faculty Interdisciplinary Research Institute, at Swansea University that will aim to act as a multidisciplinary meeting bringing together various faculties and institutions to discuss how we can advance our knowledge in this area.
Our vision is to encourage collaboration, innovation and advancements in health and to highlight the opportunity for technology, through better multidisciplinary research partnerships.
This email is an open invite to attend or an offer to present on your research to those with a broad interest in women’s health and help build a closer community of like-minded colleagues.
Currently, we are forming the agenda for a broad audience and we are offering opportunities to deliver a short presentation in your area of research involving (i) menarche, health & wellbeing, (ii) menopause, health & wellbeing, (iii) technological opportunities across the lifetime, (iv) policy around women’s health, (v) women in sport.
If you would like to attend this meeting, please put a placeholder in your diary.
If you would like to present on your expertise in the broad area of menarche, menopause, opportunity for technology, policy and health inequalities and/or women in sport, please email samantha.caswell@Swansea.ac.uk by 30th April for further information, please note this in not an exhausted list and we are open to areas of interest.
