Why Women Aren’t Being Heard in Healthcare | Health Applied® With Cherry Healey

Описание: In this first episode of Health Applied®, we sit down with broadcaster and women’s health advocate Cherry Healey to unpack the uncomfortable truths about how healthcare has historically failed women, from menopause and endometriosis to misdiagnosis, underfunded research and medical misogyny.

We explore:
• Why the UK economy loses £11bn every year due to women’s health-related absence
• The shocking lack of investment in women’s health research
• Why women are more likely to be misdiagnosed – even during heart attacks
• The real impact of menopause on careers, confidence and wellbeing
• How healthcare systems, leaders and innovators can design better solutions for women
• What needs to change in medical education, policy and workplace culture

This conversation is essential listening for healthcare leaders, founders, clinicians, investors, marketers and women navigating midlife health.
