We at the PCWHF share the concerns of the @RCObsGyn and @FSRH_UK about @NHSEngland removing Women's Health Hubs from the 2025/26 planning guidance. This decision is concerning and could have serious consequences. Please read our full letter to @wesstreeting for more details.

If you're a woman, you're more likely to be killed by your partner than by smoke or from not wearing your seatbelt. Domestic abuse is the national emergency being ignored. As we step into 16 days we need your support to help us save lives: womensaid.org.uk/give/donate…

I truly agree @irisintervent I attended 2 fringe events that were focused in health & both times I was the only person in the room that asked how they will work better to safeguard those affected by Domestic Abuse. The public health approach really has a lot more work to do 🥲

Sorry to hear this. Anyone who knows about @irisintervent knows it’s both a life saving and life changing initiative. It’s evidence based, cost effective and this programme should be funded properly. Funding is needed for what we know works.
Sam Thomas@SAM_90_T23 Jul 2024
And despite the headlines today that #domesticabuse is a national emergency, crucial services such as @irisintervent are being cut by health boards in Wales. Sustainable funding is paramount to keep Women and children safe from abuse.

Reflecting on the 'Listen to us' report, now is the time to push for meaningful change and ensure that: 1. legislation needs to be introduced which creates a legal duty to ensure victims' rights to communication support, similar to those accused of a crime. Now it's time to work together to ensure the new government delivers on its promises for a better tomorrow.
