Series 16 is here, and we're spending the whole series investigating gender bias and misogyny in healthcare, building up to the publication of our book in September. And what better place to begin than to Spill the Tea with Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Wes Streeting and Women's Health Minister Baroness Gillian Merron? We ask them about the revised Women's Health Strategy that launched in April, and how they plan to tackle misogyny and racial bias at its very core. We also examine the striking funding figures that journalist Rosie Taylor revealed when comparing the Women's Health Strategy with the Men's Health Strategy launched in November along with our own thoughts. Plus, find out all about our adventures trekking the Higher Atlas Mountains with a female-led expedition that took us above the clouds and into beautiful villages. And stick around for some beautiful inspiration to carry you through the week. ☕ SUBSCRIBE for honest chats on women's health, feminist issues, sisterhood & smashing the patriarchy, one cuppa at a time. 💛 Enjoying the podcast?
