Summary of report content

This is a report by Healthwatch Bucks. The report looks at women's health hubs and their potential development in the local area.

Feedback was collected via an online survey, and in person at community events, focus and discussion groups. 393 women, who live in Bucks or are registered with a Bucks GP, gave feedback. 341 completed the survey and 52 attended focus/discussion groups. For two of these groups, the survey questions were translated into Urdu/Pashto by our facilitators. All responses were collected between 15 May and 28 July 2024. 

The report looks at waiting times, experiences for women's related health services, and the barriers to attending/accessing services.

There are recommendations in this report across the following areas:

  • Written information, guidance and publicity
  • Communication with patients 
  • Choice, consent, were involved and listened to. 
  • Accessibility

There are no follow up actions but the work feeds into the ICB work and recommendations have been made to them for consideration.
