About Us
Women’s Health Hope is an independent service. It was founded to support, advocate, educate and bring focus to women’s health. After my personal experience.
I am in my early 30s and I started to feel pain, itching and discomfort in my vulval area. I struggled for months before going to my GP as I was embarrassed. I had a few difficult appointments, and I didn’t feel listened to or understood.
I was eventually diagnosed with LS after a biopsy. I found the diagnosis very difficult to come to terms with, especially after realising the condition is not fully understood. I found that daunting, and the impact on my mental health was significant.
My ongoing journey with my diagnosis led me to set up Women’s Health Hope. I am a person just like you.
Women’s Health Hope aims to support women while educating and promoting research.
Women’s health can be an isolating time. Don’t face it alone
Why is this important to us?
During a recent study across the UK, it is reported that 4 out of 5 (84%) of women felt their healthcare professionals were not listening to them when they sought advice and help for their women’s health concerns. This left women feeling unheard, confused, and distressed. By working closely with East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust our focus is to provide women with the opportunity to feel heard, understood and supported.
