Join us for a meeting to continue conversations around women's health, discrimination, sexism, and ageism in Bristol.

We are excited to continue our campaign to change the health agenda and reflect the needs of women over 55 in Bristol.

Join Bristol Women's Voice for a meeting exploring women's health, discrimination, sexism, and ageism within healthcare. This is an opportunity to come together, share experiences, and help shape conversations around a more inclusive and equitable health system.

We are working to ensure that Women’s Health Over 55 is recognised within GP training and that sexist and ageist in health settings is challenged and changed. And to give women over 55 confidence in attending medical appointments. We want better medical outcomes for all women!

About the campaign

Bristol Women's Voice is continuing its work to influence change within healthcare, to ensure voices and experiences of women over 55 are heard.

Our campaign aims to improve understanding of women’s health needs over 55, including ensuring this is reflected in GP training. We are also working to challenge sexist and ageist language and practices within health settings.

By bringing people together, we can help create a healthcare system that recognises, respects, and responds to the experiences of women over 55.

More than just a meeting

Our goal is to make women's equity a reality in Bristol. We do this through campaigning, connecting and celebrating.
