Reshaping Access to Reproductive Health with Bournemouth University’s Professor Vanora Hundley and University Hospitals Dorset’s Daniel Webster #3

Speaking of Women's Health - Dorset Women CIC

“For every pound invested in obstetrics and gynaecology for each woman, we would generate £319m return to the economy. It's a huge investment because women are at the centre of families.”  

Every woman deserves timely, compassionate and effective care - particularly in the realm of reproductive health, so what are the barriers that need breaking down to achieve that level of care?

We welcome Professor Vanora Hundley and Daniel Webster this week to share the advancements that are being made in one of the most personal topics we’ll cover across the whole series of ‘Speaking of Women’s Health’...

Vanora and Daniel are two of Dorset’s leading voices in obstetrics, gynaecology & midwifery, and their work is putting our voices at the heart of the care we’re able to access.

We’ll cut through lingering taboos to dive into the systemic issues that have flown under the radar for too long - from disproportionate Black mortality rates in childbirth, to information access for those with disabilities - and share the projects that are driving action across Dorset, and beyond.
