Over 55's Health Discrimination Meeting
About this Event
We are excited to continue our campaign to change the health agenda and reflect the needs of women over 55 in Bristol.
Join Bristol Women's Voice for a meeting exploring women's health, discrimination, sexism, and ageism within healthcare. This is an opportunity to come together, share experiences, and help shape conversations around a more inclusive and equitable health system.
We are working to ensure that Women’s Health Over 55 is recognised within GP training and that sexist and ageist in health settings is challenged and changed. And to give women over 55 confidence in attending medical appointments. We want better medical outcomes for all women!

- Continue discussions around women’s health and healthcare experiences
- Share experiences of sexism and ageism within health services
- Explore how healthcare can better reflect the needs of women over 55
- Help influence the local health agenda
- Connect with other women and non-binary people with similar experiences and aims

About the campaign
Bristol Women's Voice is continuing its work to influence change within healthcare, to ensure voices and experiences of women over 55 are heard.
