Episode 4 - A debrief from the Women’s Health Symposium with Dr Lorelei Jones and Dr Carys Stringer
Episode 4
Friday, 19 September, 2025
Send us a textIn this episode of the Health Equity Podcast, host Dr Lorelei Jones sits down with Dr Carys Stringer, Health Economist at Bangor University and a member of the newly launched Women’s Health Research Centre.Together, they reflect on the College of Medicine and Health’s Women’s Health Symposium held at Pontio, Bangor University (17th September 2025). The event brought together researchers, clinicians, policymakers and the public to address inequalities in women’s health across the life course.Carys shares her insights from keynote talks and presentations, ranging from endometriosis and cervical screening access to intersectionality, community-based domestic abuse programmes, and the value of meaningful co-production. The conversation highlights the breadth of research showcased at the symposium, the importance of collaboration, and how patient and public voices are shaping the future of women’s health in Wales.This episode also explores the Welsh Government’s new Women’s Health Plan, including the introduction of dedicated Women’s Health Hubs set to transform access to care.A fantastic discussion of another inspiring event – and a reminder of why advancing women’s health research and equity matters for all of us. Just a quick note: during the episode, “Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales” was accidentally introduced as “Fair Trade for the Women of Wales.” Our slip of the tongue! We wanted to make sure to give the correct name here and acknowledge the brilliant work they do.
