Our major project for 2025/26 was gender healthcare: the health issues that face women, men and the trans, non-binary and intersex community in York.
Women’s Health
We looked at health issues that have a particular impact on women, such as reproductive health, managing menopause symptoms and chronic pain. We also considered the responses women receive when seeking help.
As a result of this work, we have produced two reports:
Women's Health: Stories of women's health experiences in York which is available through our Resource Hub here.
A service based on kindness and respect The health experiences of women with long term conditions in York available to read here.
Men’s Health
We want to hear about all aspects of men’s health and would be particularly grateful to hear from you if you have had experience of screening health checks for men.
Experiences of trans, non-binary and intersex people - report now published
We carried out research to hear about the real-life experiences of trans, non-binary and intersex people accessing healthcare services in York. We worked in partnership with GeneraTe, York LGBT Forum, York Disability Rights Forum and colleagues working in health and care.
