 In the second of two episodes, bringing together our Women’s Health and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention programmes, we explore the cardiovascular disease for women in relation to health inequalities.

We discuss how social inequalities can have a knock-on effect for cardiovascular disease risk, and highlight the Healthy Heart Checks programme currently being delivered by Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria, that is leading the way towards early prevention against cardiovascular disease for women.

The UK’s health and care system is meant to serve everyone, but women, who make up 51% of the population, face challenges accessing health and social care. Although women generally live longer than men, they spend more of their lives in poor health or with disabilities.

The government published its first ten-year Women’s Health Strategy for England in August 2022 outlining the key issues across women’s health and the action plan being implemented to tackle these problems.

In alignment with the strategy, Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria has launched a newly established Women’s Health programme, which includes a range of projects to improve the health and social care outcomes for women and girls, whilst also supporting the reduction of inequalities and generating economic growth.

The programme is aligned to the priority areas identified in both national and regional NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board women’s health strategies.
