Our major project for 2025/26 is gender healthcare: the health issues that face women, men and the trans and non-binary community in York.
Women’s Health
We will look at health issues that have a particular impact on women, such as reproductive health, managing menopause symptoms and chronic pain. We will also consider the responses women receive when seeking help.
Men’s Health
We want to hear about all aspects of men’s health, and in particular we will examine the rise of mental ill health in men, recently referred to as a ‘silent health crisis’ for men across the UK.
Trans and non-binary health
We will be talking to members of the Trans and non-binary communities about accessing healthcare and support, given the very long waiting lists for gender identity clinics both locally and across the country.
