Gynaecological cancers are a significant health concern affecting around 22,050 women in the UK each year. Early detection is vital to providing the best possible health outcomes for women with symptoms, however NHS waiting lists are at an all time high and the number of women turning to Eve for support has increased by 300% in the past year. Moreover, research shows there are ethnic disparities in gynae health outcomes with Black women twice as likely to be diagnosed at a later stage.
The Ask Eve Nurse Information Service, led by qualified gynaecological nurses, serves as a vital support system for individuals affected by gynaecological cancers. This confidential, compassionate, and non-judgmental service provides evidence-based information and holistic support to anyone who needs itand works directly with communities with worse health outcomes.
