Women's Health Market Engagement

In March 2026, to support the renewal of England's women's health strategy, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is exploring collaboration opportunities with stakeholders from: * the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) and * private sector organisations interested in supporting the improvement of women's health outcomes, to help overcome some of the barriers preventing women from accessing support, engaging with services and having a positive experience of healthcare. DHSC is interested in exploring how industry and government can better work together to achieve its strategic ambitions for women's health. The purpose of this market engagement is to announce that DHSC will also be hosting a virtual Market Engagement event with a Q&A on the 3rd February 2026 to facilitate a conversation around what organisations are doing, or interested in doing, to support the women's health agenda. To be eligible to attend this event you must be a VCSE or private sector organisation interested in improving health outcomes for women. DHSC also ask any party linked or interested in women's health to complete a short questionnaire asking them about what they feel are potential areas of opportunities for collaboration, as well as any work they are undertaking to improve women's health. This questionnaire is purely for information purposes and will not form part of the assessment of those organisations that DHSC may collaborate with for its Women's Health Strategy
