Share your views about the online women's health hub!

women’s health - tell us how we’re doing – your voice matters!

In 2023 a project was launched which aimed to improve access, information and services for women’s health in Dorset, including a dedicated Women’s Health Website co-designed by and for the women and girls of Dorset.

A new survey is being re-circulated to gather views and experiences from women and girls in Dorset to find out if anything has changed.

Lung Cancer Screening assessments are being offered in your area to people aged 55 to 74 who smoke now or have previously smoked.

The aim of the Screening is to help find problems early, often before people notice anything is wrong. Finding things early means that treating a problem is often simpler and more successful – saving more lives.

Eligible patients will receive a letter in the post.
