Our aim is for EVERY healthcare event to have balanced gender representation.

Too often, we hear that conference organisers 'couldn't find a woman' to speak. Time and time again we see predominantly male speakers on conference panels, plenary sessions and keynotes.

We know this is not for a lack of phenomenal women speakers. We know these women exist, and we want to make sure that they are offered the same opportunities as their male colleagues to speak at healthcare events and conferences.

We are Women Speakers in Healthcare (WSH). We are creating the UK's largest database of female healthcare professionals who have an interest in speaking at these events, so that conference organisers know exactly where to find us.

We know that this would be not be possible without our male allies; we encourage all men who want gender balance, diversity of thought and balanced representation at healthcare conferences and events to sign up and stand up for women.

GDPR: By filling in this form, you are adding yourself to our database. This database will exist as a spreadsheet that cannot be publicly accessed.

If, at any time, you want to remove your details from the database or revoke consent for your details to be passed on, please email womenspeakershc@gmail.com.

In the near future, we intend to create a website with ally profiles that can be publicly searched; NOTHING will be uploaded to the website before we contact you for further consent explicitly for this purpose.

Yours, the WSH Team:
Greta, Katie, Rose, Nada and Lucia
