Despite advancements in healthcare, women and girls continue to face unique health challenges often overlooked by traditional research and design practices. Moreover, it is increasingly recognised that products, technologies and interventions aimed at all genders have primarily been designed for men, with the needs of women and girls inadequately accounted for throughout the design and implementation process.
To address this, the Imperial College Women’s Health Network of Excellence is organising a one-day collaborative workshop to bring together researchers from different disciplines to brainstorm ideas for healthcare interventions designed with women and girls in mind. The workshop is designed to lay the foundations for the development of new Imperial-led proposals for the MRC funding opportunity for early stage development of new healthcare interventions. Through interactive activities, talks, small group work and networking, participants will engage in lively discussions, share ideas and expertise, and explore new avenues for collaboration.
This event is aimed at academics of all career stages, including those who are interested female-specific health as well as those whose area of work is not specific to women but where an important gender health gap exists. Early- and mid-career researchers particularly encouraged to take part! This event is open to Imperial College researchers and academics only.
