Women across Northern Ireland are being encouraged to take part in a survey focusing on their health needs and the challenges around women’s healthcare.
The Women’s Health Survey for Northern Ireland, part funded by the Department of Health, is the first phase of a public listening exercise with Northern Ireland women.
It is being carried out by the School of Nursing & Midwifery at Queen’s University, Belfast, in partnership with Derry Well Women. Its purpose is to hear directly from women about their specific health needs and experiences to help shape planning for women’s health services.
The survey will collect anonymous data on a range of topics including women’s priorities for their health, barriers to accessing health services and how women’s voices are integrated into the planning and delivery of healthcare services.
Women aged 16 and over are encouraged to participate, ensuring that their voices are heard and that the realities of women’s health across Northern Ireland are fully represented.
The survey will close on 31 January 2025 and is available online here(external link opens in a new window / tab) or a paper copy can be accessed by contacting the research team at womenshealthni@qub.ac.uk
The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete, and all responses are anonymous and will be used solely for research purposes.
