Digital Health and Care Wales updates women’s health website
The NHS Wales Women's Health website has been updated to meet the needs of its users.
PIF member Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW) has shared details of improvements made to the site. This includes incorporating feedback from users and introducing new functionality to make it easier for women to find local support.
Combining digital, clinical and lived-experience expertise
The website was launched in March 2026. It brings together digital, clinical and lived-experience expertise to create a trusted NHS Wales source of information, support and signposting for women and girls.
It was developed through a partnership between DHCW's Corporate Applications team, the NHS Wales Women's Health Network, Women's Health Research Wales at Cardiff University, Welsh Government and the Co-production Lab Wales.
More than 70 women, representing communities and backgrounds from across every health board region, contributed to its development through a series of in-depth engagement sessions held over 15 weeks.
Changes informed by feedback from users
Recent improvements announced by the NHS Wales Women's Health Network have been informed directly by feedback from users. Clearer language and better signposting were recurring themes.
The latest additions include a postcode finder to help women locate services in their area. A glossary explaining women's health terminology has also been added. And there is a new Get Involved section bringing together opportunities to take part in research studies, surveys and interviews.
DHCW said teams will continue working with partners and users to review feedback, monitor usage and identify further enhancements. This ongoing collaboration will help inform the website's future direction and ensure women's voices remain at the heart of its evolution.
